'According to three eyewitnesses, James McIntyre simply shook the
congresswomanâs hand during a reception following an event celebrating
the anniversary of a child welfare law, and asked Mace to protect the
rights of transgender people. Maceâs account was very different,
however. In a post on X, the congresswoman claimed she âwas physically
accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man.â'

'Lisa Dickson, a veteran advocate for foster youth from Ohio, wrote in a
Facebook post, "I want to express deep disappointment in the fact that
Congresswoman Nancy Mace came to a national foster youth event, told
participating youth that it was a safe space â and literally had one of
them arrested by Capital police for simply shaking her hand and asking
about trans rights."
...
Another foster care advocate who was present at the event recalled that
after Mace finished delivering remarks, she moved to leave a room
through an exit where McIntyre approached her to shake her hand and
comment about the transgender youth in foster care who "need [her] support."
"From what I saw, it was a normal handshake and interaction that I would
expect any legislator to expect from anyone as a constituent," Elliott
Hinkle, a former foster youth and advocate for LGBTQ rights, told The
Imprint.'
