Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a resolution that would bar transgender women in Congress from using women's restrooms.

Frida Ghitis: Mace framed herself as a pro-LGBT, social moderate.

She says Mace 's stance is devoid of nuance and empathy Mace originally branded herself around.

Ghitis says there's no actual “safety” issue being addressed here, and the most that could happen here is encountering trans woman at sink next to you.

Nancy Mace’s stand does seem to be succeeding in its real goal: bringing widespread attention to Nancy Mace .

She has no idea what genitalia McBride has, as some transgender women choose to have “bottom surgery” that removes their penises.

Mace 's past trauma is tragic and worthy of our sympathy, but her logic here still doesn’t follow.
