Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., criticized the head of a left-leaning civil rights group for her definition of women, saying her ideology puts women at risk.
During the House hearing, “Defending the Rule of Law: Ending Unlawful Racial Discrimination in America’s Employment Practices and Protecting Men and Women,” Mace asked Maya Wiley, CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, “Can you define what is Female?
Wiley, a former MSNBC legal analyst who is running for New York City mayor in 2021 on a platform of defunding police departments, responded: “A woman is a person who claims to be, Let me tell you a story about this—”
“No, no, you’re not going to tell me a story, we’re not going to do that now, it’s not story time,” Mace said, eventually telling Willie to be quiet as she took back her time.

“Biological women are real women,” Mays said. “A guy who was born a man wants to pass himself off as a woman and put him in a locker room with his big Jim and his twin, and underage girls – or by the way, his little Jim and his twin, it’s disgusting .
Mays later recounted an incident when she took her 14-year-old daughter shopping to celebrate her birthday and her child “was taken into her dressing room by a biological male wearing a miniskirt and a lace bra. It was so disgusting, I didn’t Know if that is the case” “The man is over 18 years of age or under 18 years of age.
“By the way, Miss Wiley, I’m a rape survivor, I was raped when I was 16,” Mays added. “I will not put other women and girls at risk by putting them in unsafe situations with biological males.”
