Promoting understanding and human rights through open dialogue

To: Rep. Stutzman

From: A constituent in Fort Wayne, IN

February 8, 2025

Rep. Nancy Mace repeatedly used an offensive slur when referring to transgender individuals during a congressional hearing. This term has a long history of demeaning and dehumanizing transgender people. Her words demonstrate a concerning lack of empathy and respect for this vulnerable community. Elected officials should aim to be inclusive of all citizens in their speech and actions, not single out marginalized groups with discriminatory language. Mace should acknowledge the harm caused by her remarks and commit to using appropriate terminology going forward.
