On August 4, 2026, at 2:30 PM ET, Rep. Nancy Mace posted on her official congressional X account, @RepNancyMace: 'There is no such thing as a trans kid.' The standalone post drew roughly 22,000 likes and about 880 replies. The next afternoon, August 5, Mace quote-tweeted one of the replies to it, a message from the account @GuntherEagleman that read 'Just fcked up parents,' and added a single word of her own: 'This.' Mace did not write the 'fcked up parents' line herself; a follower did, and she endorsed it by quote-tweeting it. Both of Mace's posts sit on her official House account and fit a cluster of statements she made about transgender people across late July and early August 2026. This dispatch reproduces every post verbatim, embeds them, and takes no position of its own.
