A second transgender candidate running for a seat in the Republican-majority Ohio House is at risk of being disqualified from the ballot after omitting her former name on circulating petitions.
The Mercer County Board of Elections is set to vote Thursday on whether Arienne Childrey, a Democrat from Auglaize County and one of four transgender individuals campaigning for the Legislature, is eligible to run after not disclosing her previous name, also known as her deadname, on her petition paperwork.
A little-used Ohio elections law, unfamiliar even to many state elections officials, mandates that candidates disclose any name changes in the last five years on their petitions paperwork, with exemptions for name changes due to marriage. But the law isn’t listed in the 33-page candidate requirement guide and there is no space on the petition paperwork to list any former names.
I wouldn’t say I have a problem reading so much as you have a problem with trans people.
First you disagree the law is targeting, then you claim it does target, now you’re just responding with vague impunations.
You like to live in a fantasy world, do you? Disregard logic and just accuse someone of having a problem with trans people when they simply explain a logical explanation that doesn’t require any malice?
You’re a pretty pathetic person, you should really take a hard look at your life.
Diarrheing ‘logic’ and effecting an affect of detachment doesn’t make you smart or any less a transphobe.
There you go again, unable to deal with someone else with a different opinion without accusing them of being a transphobe. You’re pathetic.
Don’t engage in transphobia and I’ll have no reason to j’accuse yous.
I haven’t, you’re just a pathetic excuse of a person who can’t use logic and lashes out with false accusations rather than admit it.
There you go again.
