A local transgender influencer was publicly bullied by Rep. Nancy Mace. The influencer, who posts on Instagram as Bottleneckloser, had shared side-by-side photos of herself before and after transitioning, expressing her positive feelings about estrogen.

Rep. Mace responded to the post, sharing it on her official and personal accounts with negative comments. The congresswoman's actions have been seen as an attempt to belittle the influencer.

Further details about the exchange and its impact are available through LGBTQ Nation.
