The first openly nonbinary lawmaker in Massachusetts history is taking a leave of absence after they allegedly dealt with transphobia from colleagues, including Worcester's mayor.
Thu Nguyen, who has served as an at-large councilor since 2022, says their "hiatus" is to prioritize their mental health and emotional safety after they were allegedly subjected to a discriminatory and toxic culture on the Worcester City Council. Nguyen also said this month off will be to forge a path to address this support, asking for support in holding Worcester to a moral and legal standard "that feels like the bare minimum."
"We 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's not just about identity politics. Making history as the first is one thing, what you do with it is another," Nguyen wrote in a public statement. "I 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."
Nguyen has filed a complaint and formally requested the city's chief equity officer open an immediate investigation and create an action plan to address this matter.

Trans math...”They” = “He” + “She”
As long as it doesn't get paid, take as long as you want.
Just say “it” because we don’t know anymore.
This is not the reason. It is confused about what it is.
If you see preferred pronouns on a resume - bin it.
It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Should change their name to Worcstest City.
And what does that say about the voters in Worcespool?
Oh not it is getting paid!!!
From this article:
“City Clerk Nikolin Vangjeli said Thursday that Nguyen will be issued a stipend of around $2,641 per month. The rate is given to all councilors regardless of their tenure on the panel.”
I’d just as soon we didn’t hear any more from the alphabet brigade. I don’t think that’s likely to happen though. Still, after enough ridicule, “they” may get the mental healthcare “they” sorely need. Why would you vote for a tranny? It doesn’t make sense.
Wow that’s some public servant. Doesn’t attend meetings of the council because it’s “unsafe,” and doesn’t convene the subcommittee he chairs. Pete article there’s a lot more going on. Obviously only sought office for the glory of being a “trailblazer.” Self-absorbed and fragile
So the first non-binary elected to the position simply can’t handle the job.
If I make a statement that I don’t like accountants, am I accountant-phobic?
This is what demonrats do when they steal our income.
Just like every other alphabet mafia freak.
“Phobia”, a cheap transparent attempt to intimidate. Nobody is fearful of these mentally ill people. They have a dislike or disapproval of them, nothing wrong with that, especially when a forced approval of them is “mandated” by those that want to pretend.
Btchering the English language to please a mentally ill person.
imagine what would happen if he called it a G**K???
Phobia is a FEAR. Disliking or disapproving of “trans” b.s. does not make one “transphobic”, it makes them normal and rational.
