    First Transgender State Lawmaker Arrested on Child Sex Abuse Image Charges (westernjournal.com)

    A former New Hampshire legislator who was reportedly the nation’s first openly transgender state elected official has been arrested on child pornography charges, according to news reports.

    Stacie Marie Laughton, who was born Barry Charles Laughton, Jr., 39, was arrested Thursday on four counts of distributing sexually explicit images of children, The Daily Wire reported Friday.

    Groves allegedly “took nude images of children at the daycare and sent the photos to Laughton, with whom she was previously in an intimate relationship, between May 2022 and June 2023,” the news station reported.

    Laughton, a Democrat, has been active in politics, having been elected selectman in 2011, 2019 and 2021, according to Patch.com.

    What do you think about the dozen GOP leaders in this thread? Are they sick in the head X12? And that’s only a portion of them who were caught. If they represent the 5-10% of the offenders who get caught then the GOP employs HUNDREDS of pedos. Hundreds.

    It's horrible and this person deserves to go to jail.

    We all know that isn't the point of the post though. The point is "See? Trans people are pedophiles and can't be trusted."

    One example does not prove a rule though. As City pointed out, if we vilified a class of people based on one (or twelve) examples then we should all be up in arms about any GOP politicians being allowed near children since they're all clearly pedophiles who can't be trusted (according to the OP's logic which he'll deny).

    I addressed it in the second post. Want me to link it or are you clever enough to look up about 5 posts? And I didn’t mention Trump. How many times can you be wrong in a word salad that says nothing?

    So when Jalen Kitna got in trouble for child porn did you say all Gator QBs are sick in the head like that? Or just Kitna?

    Any reason to limit that to just QBs? Or football players? Or even all athletes?

    I’d compare Kitna to sick perverted people. There are straight people of all races that comparison would fit and there are trans people of all races that comparison would fit.

    Actually, the bizarre thing to this story is that this person was elected in 2011 but stepped down when a 2008 conviction became public.
    He was arrested in 2015 for making bomb threat, but was still elected in 2020. Then arrested again in 2021 and resigned.

    What's with the voters there? Does no one else run?

    There is over 300,000,000 people in this country a dozen is all you could find. I'm sure you could make a similar list of low level Democrats equally impressive but why not just start at the top with pedo joe and the lady who slept herself into the vice presidency?

    We don’t know what Kitna had in his closet. He may have had 20 dresses in there and we wouldn’t know.

    Sounds like the Democrats probably pushed this person to the front because of identity politics and they got burned.

    A dozen GOP leaders in 2 years? How many you think get caught? 5%? 10%? That means hundreds of GOP pedo leaders. It’s a disgusting pedo party that you vote for while throwing out nonsense at Joe. You deserve the losers you get but why can’t you guys leave the kids out of it?
