Part 2 of our on-going series provides a close look at the folks and groups promoting transphobia Down East. Shawn McBreairty's lawyer, for instance, who has argued that laws regarding 'child sexual abuse content' be loosened. Or the convicted child sex offender who served as "Director of Advocacy" for the local anti-trans group “Parents Rights Maine" and has trouble telling the truth. And the tough-talking ex-cop who views himself as authority on all things, especially young adult literature and middle school curriculum. This episode explains how haters share and spew the vile anti-trans talking points that have become part of the Maine GOP platform.
