CONGRESSWOMAN NANCY MACE RE-INTRODUCES TRIAGE OF BILLS PROTECTING WOMEN’S PRIVACY AND SAFETY

(WASHINGTON, D.C., February 6th 2025) – Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) is re-introducing three bills in the 119th Congress: the Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act, the Stop the Invasion of Women’s Spaces Act, and the Prison Rape Prevention Act. These three bills aim to restore common sense protections for women in restrooms, locker rooms, shelters, and prisons, ensuring biological men cannot invade spaces meant for women.

"Like President Trump, we believe in protecting women—not erasing them. The left’s unhinged, sexist tantrums won’t stop us from standing up for women’s privacy, safety, and dignity. They want to let biological men invade women’s restrooms, locker rooms, prisons, and shelters. We won’t let it happen. We’re not backing down. We’re holding the line,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace
 

• The Stop the Invasion of Women’s Spaces Act expands protections for women’s spaces by barring biological men from using women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms in all federally funded facilities. This includes schools and universities, national parks, government buildings, healthcare facilities such as hospitals and clinics, public housing and shelters, and transportation hubs like airports, train stations, and bus terminals.
   
• The Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act prohibits biological men from using women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and other private, protected facilities on all federal property, including government buildings, national parks, and military installations. This legislation ensures federally managed spaces maintain sex-specific protections for privacy and safety.
   
• The Prison Rape Prevention Act addresses the growing crisis of male criminals exploiting gender identity policies to gain access to women’s prisons, where cases of sexual assault have already been reported. This bill bans housing biological men in women’s correctional facilities, preventing dangerous individuals from endangering female inmates. Additionally, it puts an end to the misuse of taxpayer dollars on gender-affirming medical care for incarcerated individuals—stopping violent offenders from manipulating the system to gain access to women’s spaces.
