(Georgia) What does vilifying mothers, getting people fired from their job, threats, intimidation, doxing, and assaults have in common?
These are all tactics used or condoned by LGBTQ+ activists in Georgia.
This is the final part of a three-article series taking a deeper look into the transgender culture war roiling Georgia, as in the rest of America.
The first article focused on the Cobb County controversy around school libraries providing books about children having sex.
The second article examined a Georgia Equality board member’s targeting a local mother of four, following a dispute over a sexually graphic book in the Oconee County library.
Part three takes a closer look at the tactics used by Georgia LGBTQ+ activists in advocating against child safeguarding and against parental involvement in education.
Atlanta.
“I have promoted a lot of gay events. I’m sixty-one years old and I ain’t never seen nothing like this, except on TV and in the Bible,” said the driver of a mobile billboard truck during Atlanta’s October 12-13, 2024, “Pride” event.
The driver was reacting to an assortment of middle fingers and “f—k” word taunts hurled at him by the LGBTQ+ crowd because of the message displayed on his billboard truck: “There is no pride in sexualizing, indoctrinating, or mutilating children.”
“By any means necessary,” read one angry protester’s sign, as another - wielding a baseball bat - gestured menacingly towards the driver.
The billboard truck promoted the advocacy of Gays Against Groomers, a new gay rights group, founded in 2022, speaking out against the “LGBTQIA+” trans-ing of gay and autistic of children.
“Who could be opposed to hurting kids?” the driver, a 61-year-old straight black man, asked.
Cobb County.
“Bigot,” “racist,” and “hater” are among the words thrown at Cobb County school officials, including Superintendent Chris Ragsdale, following removal of around 30 books from Cobb school libraries, largely because of their explicit child sexual content.
Ragsdale’s critics have likened Cobb school officials to those “advocating for the death of gays.”
That opposition includes groups like the LGBTQ+ Human Rights Campaign, whose “Georgia State Director” – transgender activist Bentley Hudgins – has supported keeping sexualized books available for children.
Bentley’s social media Instagram account contains statements like, “Allow this moment to radicalize you,” “Let your righteous anger wash over your heart,” and “Stop trying to sit at tables you were meant to flip.”
Bentley also expresses support for anti-Israel campus protesters and distain for police officers. “Cops do not belong where the queer community comes together – ever,” Bently declares, because “[cops] arrest, maim and kill our siblings for existing.”
“A small group of extreme activists who do not represent our school community have doxed our staff, stalked them online, and targeted their families, even filming minor children without permission,” said a Cobb school district spokesperson in a statement to The Georgia Record.
“These extreme forms of political activism skirt the law and as importantly, are intentional attempts to distract educators from supporting students and staff. We remain committed to what matters most: ensuring the safety and success of every Cobb student.”
The illiberal tactics often employed by LGBTQ+ activists appear intended to squelch dissent and coerce submission to their cultural and political agendas.
Another new group, Sex Matters, recently published a “chronological list of trans activists’ intimidation, threats, and violence.”
The mission of Sex Matters, founded in 2022, is to stand up for women and girls’ privacy and single-sex spaces, like female-only locker rooms and prisons.
The United Kingdom based group states:
Oconee County.
The threatening and sexualized text and Facebook messages started shortly after Julie Mauck filed a defamation lawsuit this past June against LGBTQ+ activists in Athens, Georgia.
“Hope you have deep pockets, mine are deeper” read one. “You f—king peasant,” read another.
From what appears to be fake Facebook accounts, Mauck was doxed, with her home address and pictures of the house posted online.
A “photo the complainant received depicts a nude male with his p---- exposed and gesturing with his hand shooting a bird,” reads the police report filed by Mrs. Mauck, a mother of four.
Mauck is founder of Oconee County’s parental rights group Moms for Liberty chapter.
Moms for Liberty, founded in 2021, has been a vocal national voice for greater child-safeguarding in schools.
Other Moms for Liberty chapter leaders have faced similar harassment to Mrs. Mauck.
“I’ve gotten hundreds of messages [] including pornography. Many of the messages are antisemitic too. He’s referenced other Moms for Liberty chairs and sent maps of their homes, as well. He also used my mother-in-law and adult daughter’s names. He’s using a burner app, so the number the messages come from has switched many times,” said a Charlotte, North Carolina mother.
Although the identity of Mrs. Mauck’s online harasser is not yet known, she has received other forms of harassment.
As reported on October 13, 2024, by The Georgia Record, Mauck lost a job and became threatened in another following actions taken by transgender activists Felix Bell and Danielle Bonanno, a Georgia Equality board member.
Bonanno’s social media posts evidence distain for women who oppose transgender activism. Bonanno, a male who identifies as a transwoman, uses the slur “TERF” – Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist.
TERF is the modern-day equivalent of “Witch,” used by men against women who step out of line.
TERFs “misgender and abuse trans women regularly,” reads a June 17 Instagram post by Bonanno. “TERFs and white cis gays co-opt our spaces, initiatives, and voices” Bonanno claims, calling it “transmisogyny.”
TERF – and “transmisogyny” – are some of the recently created words, phrases, and ideas providing the language of transqueer ideology. Others include, “sex assigned at birth,” “born in the wrong body,” “nonbinary,” and “cisgender” (a word one comedian defined as “a way to marginalize normal people”).
J.K. Rowling is probably the world’s most “notorious” TERF. The famed author of the beloved Harry Potter book series has loudly spoken up in support of women and girls’ single-sex spaces and for the biological reality that there are (only) two sexes.
Angry LGBTQ+ and transgender activists have hurled insults, slurs, death, bomb, and rape (with their “lady-dicks”) threats against Rowling, who is among the world’s richest women.
The website Terf is a Slur at terfisaslur.com “documents the abuse, harassment, and misogyny of transgender identify politics.”
The terfisaslur.com website provides hundreds of examples of LGBTQ+ and transgender “threats of violence” and “dehumanizing language” directed towards women.
The website has an entire section displaying the transgender animus focused on J.K. Rowling.
Another famous TERF is Martina Navratilova, considered one of the greatest women’s tennis players of all time – and she is a lesbian.
Navratilova faced LGBTQ+ wrath after she began speaking out against males in female sports. The LGBTQ+ group Athlete Ally cut ties with Navratilova, calling her “transphobic.”
Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta
Georgia Tech hosted the 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving National Championships which included University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines and transgender swimmer Lia Thomas.
Gaines, a 12-time NCAA All-American, has since become an advocate for women and girls, opposing males in female sports.
A transgender activist physically assaulted Ms. Gaines, in 2023, on the campus of San Francisco State University where Gaines was an invited speaker.
Lia Thomas is a male who “identifies” as a transwoman and was allowed to compete against the female college swimmers. Thomas also, without the female’s consent, shared the women’s locker room.
Ms. Gaines has accused Georgia Tech President Angel Cabrera of failing to keep her and other female student athletes safe.
In an August 27, 2024, letter sent to Mr. Cabrera, Gaines demanded accountability for Georgia Tech’s allowing “a naked adult man with full male genitalia” to access the female locker room while she and other women were undressed.
“I heard a man’s voice and turned around and saw him a few feet in front of me naked inches away from where I was simultaneously unclothed,” the letter states. “You allowed college women to be traumatized on your campus this way. Why didn’t you protect us?”
Ms. Gaines, and four other female college athletes, recently testified before the Georgia Senate’s Committee for the Protection of Women in Sports.
Lt. Gov. Burt Jones formed the committee “to ensure that in Georgia, female athletes have the opportunity to compete solely against other women, at all levels.”
Following the women’s testimony, the LGBTQ+ activist group Georgia Equality took to social media X to essentially taunt the young women as emotional, out-of-state interlopers who need to mind their own business.
Cobb County.
Despite a past year full of controversy, Cobb County school board member Bradford Wheeler expressed some optimism in a statement to The Georgia Record. “I am happy to report that once parents and citizens see what is being removed from our schools, there has been almost zero push-back,” said Mr. Wheeler, a Republican.
“I am grateful that a community website has been created so that average citizens can actually see for themselves in the books (www.BooksInSchools.com). I am also grateful that community members no longer allow a few activist citizens to go unchallenged in the actual content of the books or attempt to misdirect the public.”
Cobb County school board Chief Strategy Officer, John Floresta, provided a written statement to The Georgia Record:
“Social debates, which should be decided by families, aren’t what parents expect in their children’s classrooms. School is about giving the next generation the skills they need, no matter how many political pressure tactics are used by those who disagree. Our Board and Superintendent repeat it often, in Cobb, teachers teach and parents parent.”
And Julie just lost her lawsuit and owes a lot of money. Justice, finally. Do people like Julie Mauck have so much time on their hands and not have enough problems themselves so they can create problems for others they don't even know? Mind your own da$@ business and stay out of other people's business!
