Notorious anti-trans activist melts down at school board meeting: "This is insane!" - LGBTQ Nation
www.lgbtqnation.com
Beth Bourne, a local Moms for Liberty leader, called teachers "f**king idiots" and "brainwashed."

Her reputation preceded her. As Bourne approached the lectern for public comment — shouting about “healthy, whole women!” — scores of district-area teachers got up from their seats and walked out of the meeting.

Bourne went ballistic.

“Ask those teachers to stop interrupting my comment!” she shouted at the meeting chair. “I want my time back! I want my time back!”

    They need their children to fit into these perfect little boxes they have constructed in their minds and if we don’t fit, it’s because there is something wrong with us or society has twisted us.

    I also detect notes of how the world will think of them that THEY raised a child that turned out to be trans or gay. The actual happiness of the child isn’t a factor, but the appearance of the child’s happiness is, because that’s a reflection of the parent.

    I’ll always stick up for sibling over mom as long as she behaves this way.

    Good for you! It’s a hard step and people don’t always seem to understand how a child can cut ties with a parent. They never what those parent/child relationships are like leading up to going no contact with parents. Also, protip: she’s always going to behave that way.

    The first thing I thought of from looking at the parent’s situation is how hopeless it is. Second thing was how Lily seems to be doing fine. Third was how similar to the ending of American Beauty the parent’s situation is.
