A Utah state school board member is facing widespread condemnation and calls to resign after she shared a post on social media that appeared to suggest a 16-year-old girl on her school’s basketball team is transgender.

Natalie Cline, a member of the Utah State Board of Education, posted earlier this week on Facebook a flier for a high school girls’ basketball team in Salt Lake County, suggestively writing: “Girls’ basketball...” The post has since been deleted.

The teenager’s parents said the post invited a swarm of cyberbullying directed toward their daughter, whom they said is not trans and described as a “tomboy,” and are calling for Cline’s resignation.
Ah but… the conservatives don’t like anyone who crosses their imagine world of Dick and Jane and Spot.

And because of their animosity of all things LGBTQ+ this girl suffers. The Board of Education member used the excuse…
She also defended her intent saying that the girl “does have a larger build, like her parents,” and did not suggest she would resign.
That I think made it only worst. Because the girl was petite and feminine she must be trans!

The gender police are out to get you! You better look feminine, you better be small boned… or the gender police with be out looking for you!

  1. Personally, the school board member had no business using her official capacity to post comments of this nature about any child, whether actually trans or not. I see it as a violation of the child's privacy. Considering the bullying that ensured, if it me, I'd sue her and the school board. When I was a pre-teen, a tomboy wanted to play on the neighborhood team composed of boys. She brought, attired in jeans and tee-shirt, her bat and ball. She had "The Goods," a terrific center fielder who could bat and catch better than half of the guys. Nobody was concerned about her sexuality or sexual identity. These days I wonder whatever happened to "Charlie," AKA, Linda.

  2. You are right, I didn't even think about that, it could very well be a violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA).
