At The Column, staff writer Andy Birkey reports that Group opposed to inclusive athletics policy calls being transgender ‘dangerous’, but on state representative Steve Drazkowski's Facebook page, John Adams, the Mazeppa lawmaker's campaign treasurer goes one step farther, comparing being a transgender person with being Ted Bundy.
The comment comes after a comment sympathetic to transgender people:
-
John Adams Government should not support perversion and the public should never be forced to accept these vile /unnatural behaviors.

Jennifer Kuoppala I honestly do not know how I feel about the sports, I have mixed feelings. What I do know is that we live in a sad world. If someone is born with a physical disability, society continues to improve on accepting them for who they are. We lack greatly on what we cannot actually see, such as mental health. Transgender individuals are not perverts! The ones I know are far from it. There is nothing more unnatural about being transgender than there is with someone born without a limb. What about those who are born of both sexes? Are they also perverted in your eyes? I cannot ask you enough to sit down and talk to some. Listen to the turmoil of trying to accept themselves for who they are. The pain in living a life of a lie for fear of rejection from those they love. Transgender is not a choice! And I will stop with my ranting.

John Adams Ted Bundy couldn't help killing people. I guess he was born that way. He didn't have any choice.

My legislative district keeps returning Draz to office! It's a wonderful area populated by good, hardworking people. Yet a candidate can run on a basic platform of "Taxes bad, social change unnecessary, God is good" and get elected over and over. I cannot adequately express my shame that this man represents us in St. Paul.

So being born transgender is the same as killing people, per John Adams? What sort of hash is he smoking then?
About one of every thousand persons is transgender. There is a very good chance that at least one of John Adams' co-workers is transgender but will never dare tell him so.
