The FB post from Allison Montgomery, since the article was so vague about it:
Allison Montgomery for House District 25
Oct 10
I don’t know (Alabama Republican Party chairman Scott) Stadthagen and he doesn’t know me – this is just plain prejudice. Convenient timing, too, considering “protector of family values” Republican State House Rep.
Easterbrook was just busted for soliciting sex
with a minor. He’s not transgender, and he’s not
gay – he’s a pedophile. Yet the GOP will keep
telling you that LGBT folks are the threat to your
children so that their friends can keep getting
away with actual child abuse.
They brought up my womanhood because they have failed at governing. Ask yourselves: if I hadn’t transitioned, would gas be cheaper?
Would your utilities be cheaper? Would
groceries be more affordable? Would your
medical debt go away? Would your rent stop
getting higher? No; so it’s just plain weird that
Stadthagen and other State House Republicans
are so obsessed with me. When I’m knocking
doors and talking with voters, they don’t care
that I’m trans, and that’s not what I’m focused
on either. I’m focused on the things we all care
about: protecting our children’s right to free and
high-quality public education, addressing the
healthcare crisis so care is available to all of us,
and making sure working people like myself can afford to start families of their own here in
Madison County.
We have to level the playing field for all of us
against the State House’s richest donors. That's
what I mean when I say “Dig up the rot, plant
new seeds.”
