The only state to vote for George McGovern, arguably the most extreme Democratic nominee ever, in the 1972 presidential election. The state that has given us way more Kennedys than we actually need. And the state where the first woman to openly identify herself as a \u201cnonbinary lawmaker\u201d is taking a month off from the position to which she was elected because she got \u201cmisgendered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcboston.com\/news\/local\/worcester-city-councilor-taking-hiatus-after-alleged-transphobic-comments\/3603699\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WBTS-TV<\/a>, Worcester City Councilor Thu Nguyen claimed she needs the \u201chiatus\u201d because the so-called misgendering has affected her mental health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe deserve a government that is welcoming, embraces and takes pride in our LGBTQ+ community. As the first nonbinary elected in Massachusetts, I have always said for me it\u2019s not just about identity politics. Making history as the first is one thing, what you do with it is another,\u201d Nguyen said in a statement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgp-post-inline-1\">\n<div class=\"adcovery-postinline-01\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI hope by speaking up against transphobia and hate, many of you will join me in pushing for a political reimagination of a government that holistically cares and serves everyone which rightfully includes the LGBTQ+ community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nguyen said \u201cthat feels like the bare minimum\u201d in terms of a standard, singling out Mayor Joseph Petty and Councilor-at-Large Kathleen Toomey for publicly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fox-news-becomes-worse-cnn-segment-misgendering-dylan-mulvaney\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">misgendering<\/a> her.<\/p>\n<p>She also claimed that Councilor Candy Mero-Carlson has referred to her as \u201cit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And she managed to bring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tim-walzs-attempt-mock-trump-indoor-inauguration-backfires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">President-elect Donald Trump<\/a> into it, because of course she did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unfortunate, as we transition under a Trump administration and exponential increase of fear experienced by the LGBTQ+ community that I, as a City Councilor At-Large of Worcester, had to file a complaint to our Executive Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion about my experience in the past 3 years of dealing with transphobia and a discriminatory and toxic council culture, being misgendered by Mayor Petty and Councilor At-Large Toomey publicly on the council floor and recently learning that District 2 Councilor Mero-Carlson has been referring to me as \u2018it\u2019 multiple times,\u201d she alleged in the statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have formally requested for the City of Worcester\u2019s Chief Equity Officer to open an immediate investigation and create an action plan to address this matter,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese hateful acts are unbecoming of a legislative body whose duty is to serve our communities and to honor and enforce anti-discrimination laws. My filing of a complaint\u2019s aim is to hold electeds accountable to moral and legal standards during a vulnerable time of crisis for the LGBTQ+ community. LGBTQ+ folks are facing more physical threats, violence and hate all over the nation,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Trevor Project reported an overall volume increase of nearly 700% on Nov 6 after Trump\u2019s election compared to the weeks prior. Many in our community are seeking to move to safer states, expressing worries for the possibility of gender affirming care and same-sex marriage being revoked and frightened to lose fundamental civil rights because of who we are,\u201d she added. \u201cThis is all in addition to the tragic reality of having anti-trans bills pushed throughout the nation in recent years and the mass shootings and murders targeting the LGBTQ+ community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ngyuen asked that \u201cif you care about me and the LGBTQ+ community,\u201d readers should \u201cadvocate for real systemic and structural change in leadership and send a clear message that hate has no place here in Worcester especially in the elected body.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DE2SvKlu5F8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DE2SvKlu5F8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Thu Nguyen (@votethu)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Both Petty and Toomey apologized for their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/woke-da-comes-rescue-trans-child-molester-suspends-prosecutor-case-misgendering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">misgendering<\/a> faux pas, saying they were brief and never happened again.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement on social media, Petty said that he \u201cmomentarily addressed the Councilor by an incorrect pronoun.
