I live in the same town as this woman. She organized and runs a chapter of Moms for Liberty. She was removed from back to school night at the highschool for screaming about teen girls having their breasts cut off. She has doxxed teachers. Her activities resulted in multiple bomb threats at schools.
Here we have a 53-year-old woman who is so consumed with hatred for her trans kid that she pretends to be nonbinary to show the world how quickly you can get hormones and surgery.
It takes 10 months just to get a referral.

Yes, I'm another one of your neighbors and it's hard to overstate how absolutely nuts it is to be this way in Davis, CA specifically. She basically could not be more isolated in these beliefs.
Wow, sounds like a very normal person that is deeply committed to discovering how awful retirement homes are once she is of age and her child has legal power of attorney.
I wondered the same thing, but in this case I hope that angle is not pursued, simply because it's best not to set a precedent that could be used later against those engaging with the process in good faith who later change their mind for genuine personal reasons.
Remember when Republicans used to shame people because they loved enough to put “Family First” and they bragged about their parenting prowess and how they loved their children unconditionally? Who knew those would be the good old days?
This isn't exactly a revealing insight on my part, but one phenomenon we have been witnessing in the past 10+ years is how visible and shameless these loons have become. In the not too distant past they would be quickly shunned, if they even felt safe saying this stuff out loud in the first place.
That leads to my second "not exactly revealing" insight. Trump gave them license to slither out from under their rocks and social media, in particular, has helped them to find kindred spirits. The latter, of course, then fuels a sense of safety because they support one another.
That but also there were always nuts people shouting nonsense but they didn't organize online (because no online existed). She's insane. Some decades she would be heavily medicated but now it's considered a 'political opinion' instead of 'hysterical insane ranting'.
One of the founders of M4L in my county formed the chapter when her daughter came out as gay. Mom could not deal and decided to tear down the public school system instead.
As a bonus point, she'd white and her husband is black and she's fighting the school system for counting her kids as black.
People like this make me sick. Live your f*cking life and quit worrying about how others live theirs. You aren't clever, you aren't wise, you are not "saving" anyone. Mind your business Karen and let people be.
Can you imagine what she told the medical staff? These people are so deranged and out of touch with actual trans and NB issues, I can only imagine the wild shit she is telling these people.
I went to grad school with the dork whose blog she posted on, who got his PhD in social spiders and worked for Jonathan Pruitt, the namesake of the Pruittgate data fabrication scandal. He’s not qualified to comment about gender and can’t get a career as an ecologist.
I'm pretty sure she arranged for him to speak at an event at the library last year. So happy to hear that he's struggling to find meaningful employment! Because I'm petty like that.
If he ever shows up again I’m going to show up and mock him. I know enough about him (and know enough people who know enough about him) to make it hurt
Yes, he’s the person that led to bomb threats at multiple DJUSD locations and at the public library—all that BS because of his willful disregard of biological complexity and what it means at the individual level. It’s next level hubris.
Sorry to "well actually" you, Dr. Smoot, but the bomb threats came after after a different event. The event that the library shut down was about trans women in sports. They were shut down for misgendering, and the bomb threats came in days afterwards.
