A school board member in Maine has been slammed for saying that parents with concerns about trans-identified male students playing on their daughters' sports teams have "pedophilic tendencies." She made the comments during a school board meeting earlier in October.
Kennebunk Select Board Member Leslie Trentalange spoke up at the meeting, saying that critics of allowing boys to play in girls' sports have an "obsession" with the "private parts" in between students' legs. She said that parents who have "creepy obsessions" about the issue are not the "majority opinion."
She added in her comments that the parents are a "group who has made hate their only hobby" and "made" the board listen to speeches on the topic. "Their obsession with what private parts are sitting in between the legs of our students is nothing less than creepy and should absolutely be raising eyebrows in and around our school district," she added
Trentalange then claimed that the parents "clearly don't care about the well-being of the students" if they don't want trans players in girls' sports.
"For shame, their obsession with genitalia points not to caring for the students in this district, but perhaps toward an underlying guilt for their own pedophilic tendencies. There is a registry for that," she added, which drew a reaction of gasps in the room. Board Chair Member Matthew Stratford told her to stop speaking. "There is no place for that, Leslie," he said. "That was inappropriate."
Trentalange doubled down, responding: "I don’t think that was inappropriate at all, and I stand by my comments."
In a statement responding to the board member's outburst, Stratford said there is 'no place for harassment, discriminatory language, disrespectful words, or other disruptive speech or comments' during the school board meetings," but did not mention Trentalange specifically.
Trentalange later issued something of a half apology in a different meeting but also stood by the comments at the time. "If there are folks in the marginalized queer community who feel my message did not serve them, or hurt them in any way, it is that which I regret," said Trentalange. "I also regret the undue and undeserved backlash other members of the Select Board or town’s staff have felt over my comments as an individual." Trentalange also gave up her role on the school board amid backlash.

Logic much, lady?
Wow. That is a remarkable conclusion.
I did a cursory Internet search. She is the epitome of a Woke Karen. She is a member of the Film Actors Guild and has a whole YouTube channel of videos titled "I HATE MONOLOGUES 1.XX"
I think I see why her acting career never took off so she had to become a woke scold on a school board to have a soapbox.
She’s a Lefty - I found her address in Kennebunk in under 2 minutes.
Woke AWFLs like her don’t hide their info because they believe they’re part of the New American Lefty-Nazi Party, and untouchable.
PROJECTION.........................
Back in the sixties when I was a teenager if I tried to do this insanity of invading the girls dressing room the following would have happened:
1. The girls that were not clothed would try to hide.
2. The girls that were clothed would gang up and beat my ass. A half dozen angry banshees is a bad idea.
3. Some of those girls would have boy friends that would hunt me down and beat me badly, very badly.
4. Mr. Hanley our principle, would throw my ass out of school and call my parents and cops. The fact that I got the hell beat out of me by boyfriends of the girls would have slipped Mr. Hanley’s memory and the cops would not give a damn that I got the hell beat out of me.
“Mr. Hanley our principle...”
We had a Dean of Boys named Mr. Hanley..............Ribault HS Jacksonville, Florida late 60’s early 70’s..............
That would have happened in the 1980’s as well.
When did girls go soft? I mean that. In the 80’s girls would have beat the $hit of of a guy in the girl’s bathroom and there would have been so much screaming the boy would have been deaf for two weeks. Parents too are soft. Parents would have called and been all up at that school house demanding answers.
Everyone is so lame these days.
Is she truly believes what she says, she is a very sick and perverted person. And she should be kept away from normal people, particularly children.
IN THE 50’s-—THE LARGEST FOOTBALL PLAYERS WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE OFFENDER OUT BEHIND THE FOOTBALL BLEACHERS.
IF THE CREEP HAD NOT SURVIVED-—NO ONE WOULD HAVE TURNED IN ANYONE.
“CLEANUP ON THE 50 YARD LINE”
That was in deep South Louisiana Cajun country, Lockport, Louisiana. Those girls are still tough today.
That’s the sad truth.
Apparently she has stepped down.

Ousted Kennebunk Bd Member Leslie Trentalange looks "normal"--that's a problem.
Leslie Trentalange previously posted social media pictures of herself at No Kings Day, but has since removed them.
And pedophilia is bad, right, Leslie?<>
It’s always some moonbat from southern Maine....20% of the state.....that screws up 80% of the state....Maine’s Second Congressional District. CD 2 went for Trump by double digits in 2016, 2020 and 2024, giving him one electoral vote each time.
