Some Democrats realize they have a problem with transgender orthodoxy, but not New York Attorney General Letitia James—she’s doubling down.
Last week, she fired Glenna Goldis, the assistant attorney general at the Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau, apparently for the crime of expressing concern about the mutilation of children.
Goldis announced her departure in a lengthy post on X. She claimed James fired her “for speaking out against pediatric gender medicine.”
“James supports ‘transitioning’ kids with puberty blockers, hormones, and surgery,” Goldis noted. “She sued the federal government to protect the [pediatric gender medicine] industry from investigations and funding cuts. And she argued (dubiously) that doctors who decline to offer [pediatric gender medicine] are liable for ‘discrimination.’”
Goldis rightly expressed concern that when the medical industry endorses experimental transgender medical interventions for minors—what the Left has euphemistically termed “gender-affirming care” and President Donald Trump’s administration has more accurately called “sex-rejecting procedures”—that arguably involves a “dangerous consumer fraud.” (snip)
Goldis’ concerns are very real, and quite warranted—regardless of your position on these interventions. James would have been wise to listen to her.
Instead, she says, “James’ officials treated me like a pest.” (snip)
Goldis told the New York Post that she’s in contact with First Amendment lawyers and is considering a lawsuit. (snip)
Whether Goldis sues or not, the firing underscores how much of a liability the transgender issue is for Democrats.

She’s very much for tolerance, as long as you agree with her.
If America didn’t have a weaponized, corrupt judiciary, Letitia McEvil would already be in prison with her sidekick, Fat Fani.
Trans is a great wedge issue. Splits a lot of homosexuals from the radical democrats.
If you over-value your breasts or penis, she will come after you.
Why do LIBs want to hurt, murder, torture and eat innocent children?????
Letitia James ran for DA on a platform of persecuting Trump, and then abused her office to do exactly that. She’s faced no real consequences at all - one dismissed charge of mortgage fraud and that’s it. Is she really that spotless? Isn’t political persecution a chargeable offense? She could do this to any New Yorker she doesn’t happen to like. Wtf is Pam Bondi doing about James?
The gays are actually the MOST upset with the Left and their embrace of the trans ideology. Trans people are actually gay people who can’t accept the fact that they’re gay.
