A prominent digital rights activist, who is transgender, confronted Rep. Nancy Mace at a public event Thursday, days after the congresswoman from South Carolina introduced a resolution to ban transgender women from using women’s bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol.
A representative for Mace and Project Liberty, the organization that hosted the summit and invited Greer, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Greer’s organization is known for its viral protest efforts against internet censorship and surveillance and in support of net neutrality.
McBride, whom Mace has repeatedly misgendered, said in a statement that she would follow the new bathroom rules as outlined by Johnson, even if she disagrees with them.
In her congressional office, McBride will have a private bathroom, while all other public bathrooms in the Capitol will be banned for transgender people.
