The proposed policy, introduced by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), has sparked debate on Capitol Hill and beyond.

We support gay marriage, and voted for the Respect for Marriage Act twice.

However, if you think protecting women is discrimination, you are the problem. We don’t care if you’re trans, if you have balls we don’t want you in the women’s bathroom.

Enriquez, in an interview with TMZ, labeled the initiative “disgusting” and “tired,” claiming it perpetuates a “fake narrative” about transgender individuals.

The former beauty queen argued that Congress should focus on more pressing issues.

“I think the whole thing is just honestly disgusting,” Enriquez said. “At this point, it’s just tired. There’s so many other issues that we need to focus on in this country instead of the divisive and fake narrative towards trans people.”

Enriquez also defended transgender Rep.-Elect Sarah McBride (D-DE), who stated that she would comply with the policy if enacted.

McBride’s response drew praise from Enriquez, who commended the congresswoman-elect for her professionalism.

“The fact that she’s just saying, ‘Yeah, I’ll follow the rule’ says so much about her character, and also her mission, and her focus on actually just being there to do the job,” Enriquez said.

Enriquez expressed personal concerns over using a men’s restroom, citing potential safety risks for transgender individuals.

She claimed that many men who are attracted to transgender women identify as Republicans, which she suggested could create dangerous situations.

“You’re basically asking someone like me, a trans woman, to use the same restroom as men. And you don’t know this — but trans people know this — that most trans-attracted men are Republican,” Enriquez stated. “You’re asking me to use the same restroom as them, and you’re asking trans men, who are bearded, who wear men’s clothing, to use the women’s restroom — because that makes more sense somehow?”

Enriquez also claimed the proposed policy could harm not only transgender individuals but also women who do not conform to traditional feminine appearances.

She argued that such legislation would stigmatize those who present in a more masculine way.

“This is dangerous to not just trans people, but to also biological women who may not present feminine or who are just a little more masculine,” she said.

Enriquez dismissed Mace’s reasoning for the legislation, which the congresswoman has framed as protecting women’s and children’s spaces.

The former pageant winner asserted that this justification is misleading.

“When we’re talking about protecting women’s spaces and children, I’m here for that, too,” Enriquez said. “But I don’t think that’s the same narrative. That’s not the truth that Congresswoman Mace is actually saying. I see right through the insecurities and the hatred.”

Rep. Nancy Mace introduced the restroom policy in response to growing concerns over the inclusion of transgender individuals in spaces traditionally reserved for women.

The proposal aims to ensure that restrooms in congressional buildings align with biological sex rather than gender identity.

The legislation has drawn praise from conservatives who argue it protects privacy and safety in women’s spaces.

However, critics like Enriquez and McBride view it as discriminatory and unnecessary.

Despite the controversy, Enriquez emphasized that her intentions in using restrooms are straightforward. “When I use a bathroom, my focus is using the bathroom. There’s no other intentions, and there’s no other narrative,” she said.

The debate over transgender restroom policies in Congress reflects broader cultural tensions on the issue, which remains a contentious topic across the United States.
