Board vacancies and a series of mysterious absences from one of its members resulted in a prolonged break of quorum.>Now, we might know one reason why.>Last week, board member Dr. Ryan McDonough, a 46-year-old cardiologist based in Wasilla, was arrested on ten counts of possession of child pornography. Law enforcement reportedly found numerous videos on McDonough’s devices and accounts that depicted sexual abuse of children, including infants.>Then, over the weekend, just one day after McDonough was released on bail, his family home went up in flames. Charred human remains were found in the rubble, but the police have yet to conclusively identify the body or the cause of the fire. McDonough is still classified as “unaccounted for,” the local ABC affiliate reports. The home’s other occupants made it out of the blaze safely.>McDonough was appointed by Alaska’s Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy in August 2025. He attended just two board meetings—in August and September—where one of his few actions was voting to advance anti-trans medical policies, which would have given the board broad discretionary powers to discipline medical providers for rendering gender-affirming care to minors. This could include fines and loss of licensure, but the rule was otherwise vague. It did not restrict the use of any such treatments for cisgender children.>The following two months, McDonough was absent from proceedings. This, in conjunction with unfilled seats, left the board’s initiatives stranded indefinitely.
>>42021777Why are so many transphobes nonces and where are the chuds who supposedly care protecting the children??? Thread is awfully quiet…
>>42022585We trannies have to be the real monsters as to absolve them, because they can’t handle the impugnment upon themselves. Also, both the transphobia and the paraphilia come from having their minds scrambled by repression and messaging that any queer feelings that they have are unnatural and immoral.I have said a few times that the right would be a much bigger threat if they were capable of integrating their queers and letting them act as their true selves, but then they wouldn’t be who they are.
