Er, so this woman is... spending a lot of time thinking about trans kids undressing? is that the takeaway?

That's weird. She's weird.

    Religious nutjobs and conservatives of all stripes seem to have an unhealthy obsession with the contents of other people's pants.

    Ah yes, of course, because famously trans kids are always stripping off in public to make sure everyone witnesses their dysphoric shame?!

    "Trans people made me strip naked" was NOT something I would've expected

    According to an April 2024 Sacramento Bee profile of the former UC Davis staffer, Bourne became one of California’s most vocal anti-trans activists in the years since her eldest child came out first as trans and later as nonbinary.

    What a shit parent. How can you hate your kid this much?

    My kid could come out as trans-martian and I would rock a proud parent shirt saying that.

    Sadly, in our experience, a lot of parents don't want children to be themselves, they want them to be mini them.

    If the fact that a group of people whose genitals Republicans want forcibly inspected exists makes you believe you must strip in public then you are the problem and not the group being targeted.

    Thankfully her trans child is in a university in another state where they don't have to deal with her in their face all the time anymore.

    This feels almost like Munschausen-by-proxy where she's seeking attention for HERSELF by claiming there's something wrong with trans people and by extension her kid.

    Ugh, I guess it's a reminder to other trans/queer/nonbinary etc kids in hateful families, do whatever you need to do in order to survive until you can escape.

    In October 2023, local news station ABC 10 reported that the Davis Joint Unified School District filed for a temporary restraining order against Bourne following a spate of bomb threats to local schools, libraries, and even the homes of educators.

    Ahah, now I see why I remembered this nitwit!

    Trans kids are super cool people! This "activist" is super creepy!! Call for recess was warranted. Hope they got tossed out of that meeting and then some.
