The 'All-Gender Restroom' note
Mace posted a photo of herself outside an 'All-Gender Restroom' sign in Austin, Texas, calling it evidence that 'there are only two.' A Community Note clarified that all-gender restrooms are single-occupancy, ADA-compliant facilities intended for anyone regardless of gender, drawing mockery from CNN's Andy Kaczynski and others.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) posted a photo of herself standing outside an "All-Gender Restroom" sign during a trip to Austin, Texas, appending a dismissive caption objecting to the sign. The post drew a Community Note and a wave of mockery, as Raw Story and MeidasTouch each reported.
Mace's post:
Spotted in Austin: 'All gender restroom.' On a recent trip to Texas. Um, no. There are only two. Hold the line. Biology isn't bigotry.

Mace's May 7, 2025 post, the post that drew the Community Note and mockery.
The Community Note correction (cited by MeidasTouch reporting):
"All-Gender Restrooms" are single-occupancy and ADA-compliant, intended for anyone regardless of gender, including individuals with disabilities, parents with children, or those needing additional privacy.
(MeidasTouch, reporting the Note's substance; note linked to the American Restroom Association)
CNN's KFile editor Andy Kaczynski asked on X: "What exactly does Nancy Mace think all gender means?" Democratic activist Timothy Bellman wrote: "Just the most genital obsessed member of Congress making sure everyone knows they're obsessed with other people's genitals." MeidasTouch noted that Mace co-sponsored a transgender rights bill in 2021. (Raw Story, MeidasTouch)
