NBC News reports:
A Utah state school board member is facing widespread condemnation and calls to resign after she shared a post on social media that appeared to suggest a 16-year-old girl on her school’s basketball team is transgender.
Natalie Cline, a member of the Utah State Board of Education, posted earlier this week on Facebook a flier for a high school girls’ basketball team in Salt Lake County, suggestively writing: “Girls’ basketball…” The post has since been deleted.
The teenager’s parents said the post invited a swarm of cyberbullying directed toward their daughter, whom they said is not trans and described as a “tomboy,” and are calling for Cline’s resignation.
Read the full article. In 2021, Cline also faced calls to resign over allegedly racist and anti-LGBTQ posts on Facebook. Cline has said that public schools “brainwash children into queer gender-bending ideologies.” This time even Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, who recently signed an anti-trans bill, is calling her out.

We are pleased to see state leaders calling on swift action to address Natalie Cline’s abhorrent behavior. The Utah Legislature is right to pursue impeachment. https://t.co/vUnxqctjLz pic.twitter.com/OUat0MfVk3

Utah State Board of Education member Natalie Cline should be forced to resign. Immediately.
She posted pictures of a minor child, without the parents’ permission, and then questioned the child’s gender? Now the child is under protection because of threats those posts caused.
