LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS — Updated March 13, 2015: New Hampsire’s first transgender lawmaker arrested for hospital bomb threat. From the New Hampshire Union Leader:
Original article Jan, 2013: Stacie Laughton’s political aspirations in New Hampshire seems to have finally ended. Attorney General Michael Delaney said earlier this week that Laughton hasn’t fully discharged her criminal sentences so therefore is ineligible to run for political office.
Laughton is reportedly going to withdraw her candidacy to fill the vacant state legislature seat left open by her earlier resignation after winning that seat last November.
The saga of Laughton’s short, but eventful political career includes announcing that she was quitting after her prior felonies were disclosed after she was elected, however, she later changed her mind, and decided to keep her seat only to once again changed her mind and signed resignation papers on local TV. She later announced she was going to run for the now-vacant seat she once held. She also opened some eyes after being seen ringing a bell for the Salvation Army during the Christmas holidays.

LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS 
Not the kind of ‘Trans Visibility” that we need!
OMG. Someone like that can do immeasurable harm to the Trans Community’s acceptance.
Make three strides closer to public acceptance, and then one “Aw shit” wipes the board clean. When people identify as transgender only to screw up in a big way, is not the publicity that the transgender community needs. You can have a very clean house but your guests will only remember the dog turd on the carpet.
Seriously? That’s the stance you are taking? A human being who had aspirations and goals and suffered from untreated bipolar disorder is in the press and all you can think if is how it makes a community look. The community will look the same as it always has no matter what the press releases. People will accept us in their hearts on their own terms and not when the press says so.
Do you know for a fact if the person does indeed have a mental disorder? She didn’t bring it up on any of her earlier gaffes. Bringing it up now seems to be an excuse. Once you step into the political arena, you’re fair game. If you have a mental illness, stay on your meds.
