Mace yells at Jacobs on House floor over ‘boob jobs is gender-affirming care’ comment

Democratic Rep. Sara Jacobs and Republican Rep. Nancy Mace engaged in a heated exchange Wednesday amid debate over the National Defense Authorization Act concerning statements about gender-affirming care.
The dispute arose as Mace advocated for amendments restricting transgender rights, including banning biological males from women’s bathrooms on military bases, which Jacobs opposed, citing widespread gender-affirming care.
Jacobs argued that procedures like breast enhancements and Botox qualify as gender-affirming care and criticized Mace for using slurs against transgender people, prompting a heated exchange involving personal insults.
Mace called Jacobs “disgusting” and derisively suggested a surgeon for her nose, while expressing frustration that her focus on women’s safety was met with remarks about her appearance during the heated discussion on the House floor.
The House passed the defense bill with Mace-sponsored amendments targeting transgender service members, underscoring ongoing partisan conflict over transgender rights and military policy.
