I was born and raised in Maine. I was always proud of my state. However, my state has now chosen to ruin their women’s sports.
Now a trans girl is reportedly so upset she just couldn’t compete. What about the young women who were knocked out of their sport?
Maine rejects the law and now I reject my home state of Maine.
This newspaper probably won’t publish this letter because it doesn’t fit with their one-sided agenda. I’m ashamed of Maine.
