Her reputation preceded her. As Bourne approached the lectern for public comment — shouting about “healthy, whole women!” — scores of district-area teachers got up from their seats and walked out of the meeting.

Bourne went ballistic.

“Ask those teachers to stop interrupting my comment!” she shouted at the meeting chair. “I want my time back! I want my time back!”

    Personally I find the whole trans thing gross and off putting, but I’m straight. With that said, if that’s what you are or are into, whatever. Live and let live, to each their own, etc. Why feel the need to oppress people who feel this way? Thus lady needs to get a grip on reality.

        What does straight have to do with it? I’m just a little weirded out by trans in general. It’s weird to me. But at the same time, it’s nt my problem and cna respect that whoever is can have at it. Like isaid, which was apparently removed by mods, live and let live. Weird comment to remove, I didn’t think I was being disrespectful or offensive but okay.

          Why is that anyone elses problem? You should go see a professional about that issue.

          Broadcasting your intrusive/offensive thoughts to strangers is actual behaviour that legitimately weirds people out.

            I didn’t say it was anyone else’s problem. Maybe you should have finished reading my comment.

          You need to get the fuck over yourself then.

            You’re taking it very personally. I’m sorry if something that weirds me out offends you so much. It looks like you only read the first part of what I said and stopped, removing the whole context.

              I read the rest. It’s the same sort of logic as “Love the sinner, hate the sin” shit. If it makes you uncomfortable, you really need to work on it. Interact with trans folks, get to know some. I’m not saying you need to want to date them or something, but it just making you “uncomfortable” isn’t good and something you need to work on.
