The "confirm what genitals" meme
A user-submitted image macro places a bathroom-stall photo beside a quote attributed to Nancy Mace: "I need to confirm what genitals you have. I don't want you making ME uncomfortable."
This image macro turns Mace's public bathroom and gender-politics brand into a blunt visual joke: a bathroom-stall photo paired with a line attributed to her, "I need to confirm what genitals you have. I don't want you making ME uncomfortable."
The meme works because it compresses a long public arc into one absurd scene: Mace's repeated bathroom-access campaign against Rep. Sarah McBride, her anti-trans language, and the broader fight over who gets treated as the intruder in public spaces. The entry catalogs the meme as a circulating image macro, not as independent verification of the exact quote.
