Maine Lawmaker Says Parents Protesting Trans Boys in Girls’ Sports Have “Pedophilic Tendencies”

In a public declaration that is shocking even for an attention-seeking liberal politician, an elected official in Maine defamed parents who oppose transgender males in girls’ sports and restrooms as having “pedophilic tendencies.” Though the egregious attack in Kennebunk may seem worse to some, it brings to mind when Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump supporters “deplorables” at a New York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) fundraiser during her second failed presidential campaign in 2016. Clinton further described Trump supporters to her loyal fans as racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic. Years later, Clinton doubled down on her reprehensible comments, writing in a major newspaper during a campaign to promote her latest book that deplorables is “too kind” for some Trump backers.
The Maine public official who blasted concerned parents is also sticking to her highly offensive words, refusing to apologize for calling them pedophiles because they want to protect their children. The incident occurred a few weeks ago during a school board meeting when Kennebunk Select Board member Leslie Trentalange suggested the protesting parents have “pedophilic tendencies.” A video of the appalling comments is available on the website of the local newspaper, which also quotes the elected official in a story of the October 20 school board meeting. Referring to parents who object to boys in girls’ sports and bathrooms, Trentalange said: “Their obsession with what private parts are sitting in between the legs of our students is nothing less than creepy and should absolutely be raising eyebrows in and around our school district.” She continued even as those in attendance, including members of the school board, seemed taken aback: “Their obsession with genitalia points not to caring for the students in this district, but perhaps to an underlying guilt for their own pedophilic tendencies. There is a registry for that,” the Kennebunk legislator added.
