Democrat Identity Politician Arrested Again

It’s becoming increasingly well documented that hatred of women is part of the “transgender” pathology.

New Hampshire State Representative Barry (now Stacie) Laughton was arrested for a third time this past week. Laughton, a biological man who claims he’s a woman, is the first gender-confused man to be elected for New Hampshire state office.

His fraught criminal history goes back decades. According to The Washington Free Beacon, “Laughton faked a mental health emergency to score a free ambulance ride back from the beach after watching a July 4 fireworks display” in 2006. That same year, he also earned some misdemeanor charges for slashing a neighbor’s tires.

Laughton earned his first major conviction in 2008 by way of credit card fraud. He was successfully elected to state office in 2012, but his criminal record and subsequent concealing of said criminal record forced him to resign. His suitability and eligibility disqualified him from state office until 2018. In 2015, Laughton was guilty of falsely calling in a bomb threat to a local Nashua hospital but was let off the hook when he claimed he did it because he was having a mental health crisis. (Sound familiar?)

Laughton ran again in 2020 and won. Do those New Hampshire voters really only look to see if there’s a “D” after the name? Or maybe it’s the “T” identity? Identity politics doesn’t a good candidate make. Laughton should be the poster child for that fact.

Laughton was arrested last month for stalking and violating a restraining order placed on him for an incident last year in which he made a false 911 call claiming that the female victim was a suicide risk. He also harassed her on social media and on his radio talk show.

Laughton remains in jail, as he is a danger to the public. Even the Democrat Party leaders in New Hampshire are troubled by Laughton’s dangerous and criminal behavior. Party Chair Ray Buckley said: “After going back on [his] word to resign today, I call on Representative-Elect Laughton to resign immediately. The charges against Laughton are extremely serious and troubling and have no place in our state legislature or in our party.”

Laughton is not the only “transgender” official to be arrested in recent weeks. Energy Department official Sam Brinton, who identifies as gender fluid, was arrested (twice) for stealing women’s luggage from an airport carousel. The contents were worth over $2,000, making the theft a grand larceny charge. His job in the Energy Department is to oversee the disposal of nuclear waste. Brinton has been given a leave of absence, though Joe Biden would do well to fire him.

There is a larger trend at play with the transgenderism phenomenon. For women who seek to “transition,” their motivation mostly is escape. For men, the motivation is sexual.

Men who decide to “transition” and act out predatory behaviors against women are narcissists who feel that they have entitlement to women’s bodies.

Some, like podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey, theorize that this is likely the result of porn sickness that has warped men’s minds so much so that they become autogynephilic — a male being aroused by thinking of himself as a female. This is largely because the man is so desirous of the sexual gratification from a woman’s body (because a body is all she is to him thanks to porn).

Many of these men suffer from a sexual fetish that centers on being objectified and perceived as lower in cultural status (i.e., a woman). It all goes back to the perverted sexual desires of these narcissists. Transgenderism provides an easy way for them to get what they want. In a literal sense, they are a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Men masquerading as women are put in women’s prisons and are raping at will. They are going into women’s locker rooms and making women and girls very uncomfortable, even exposing themselves to minors. Some have even murdered women and children for the sake of their sexual fetish.

They are also being rewarded for their deviance by checking off intersectional boxes for identity politics. Instagram influencer Dylan Mulvaney was invited to speak at the White House. Sam Brinton is part of Biden’s Energy Department. Barry “Stacie” Laughton was elected to state office, twice.

How many more women and children need to suffer for the price of these men’s sexual fetishes?
