Winthrop mom and school board chair Alicia Lawson shares her family’s journey after her autistic teenage daughter began identifying as a boy. She describes a pediatrician asking her to leave the room and urging a gender clinic referral, her decision to give her daughter time, years of heartbreak, and her daughter concluding on her own at 18, “I think you were right. I’m a woman.”
Alicia also talks about how she sees gender ideology reaching Maine schools through civil rights teams and classroom materials, and about state law allowing minors as young as 16 to pursue treatment without parental consent.
