GOP councilman announces he identifies as lesbian 'woman of color,' angering LGBT activists

MUNCIE, Ind. (TND) — A GOP councilman in Indiana has announced that he now identifies as a woman of color and a lesbian, but critics say they believe he is just being insincere and mocking marginalized people by doing so.

Delaware County Councilman Ryan Webb announced on Facebook that he had "decided to come out and finally feel comfortable announcing my true authentic self."

It is with great relief that I announce to everyone that I identify as a woman and not just any woman but as a woman of color as well. I guess this would make me gay/lesbian as well, since I am attracted to women.," Webb said.

Whew, that felt good to finally get that out there and start living life as my true self. I’m excited to bring some diversity to the county council," Webb added, "Until today we didn’t have any females of color or LGBTQIAPC+++ on the council. I’m glad that now we do!"

Webb also included a "winky face" emoji in his Facebook announcement. Many of the replies to his post call Webb "pathetic" and "embarrassing" for his perceived mockery of transgender, nonbinary and other LGBT groups.

Delaware County's government website says Webb is a father of five and married to his wife Brandy. In his coming out announcement, Webb clarifies that everyone can continue calling him "Ryan" or "Councilman Webb" and that he will retain his preferred pronouns of "He/Him."

However, this will in no way diminish my true identity as a woman of color," Webb claims in the post.

In a later edit of the same post, Webb adds that it had come to his attention that his new identity "more than likely" makes him "the very first lesbian woman of color in the history of Delaware County to ever serve on the Delaware county council."

Webb added that he was "honored" to be the person to "shatter that glass ceiling." Webb also added the hashtag "#GirlPower" in his edit. Webb also edited his announcement from originally claiming his new identity aligned with that of a Black woman to the current reading, where he maintains calling himself a woman of color.

When local news station WISH-TV reached out to Webb asking if he would like to do an interview on his new identity, Webb reportedly declined an on-camera interview, but still provided a statement.

The councilman told the news station that his family had been "receiving violent threats throughout the day from intolerant liberals who refuse to accept my decision to live my life however I choose," and that he didn't "really see how an interview will improve the situation."

It is unfortunate, but a group called Indiana Progressives has decided to organize a hate and harassment campaign against me and my family by publishing my address and encouraging people to unlawfully congregate at my home," Webb told WISH-TV. "I have to look out for the safety of my family, including our 6 children. There are people with serious mental health issues encouraging people who are unwelcome to come to my home, so I think it’s best to politely decline your on-camera interview."

Webb reportedly added that he found it "unfortunate" he could not "simply be given the same space and respect to explore my identity that so many of those targeting me demand for themselves." Webb also told WISH-TV that while his "American Indian heritage is not up for debate," it remains "possible I may change my mind down the road."

I hope that in the future those asking for tolerance and understanding are willing to give it in return and not just to those who they feel is worthy of it," Webb added. "Nobody has the authority to validate or invalidate any individual who chooses to identify a certain way."

Again, Webb's critics simply don't believe he is adopting a new identity, and is instead mocking transgender, nonbinary and other marginalized people with his public social media post.

The National Desk reached out to Webb for comment and clarification on his announcement, but has yet to hear back. If a reply is received, it will be added to this article.

Webb's critics simply don't believe he is adopting a new identity

I thought they weren't allowed to do that according to their own rainbow buttfuck rules

 

[Duke Nukem]

In five to ten years, we'll all be laughing at the tranny wars while having to deal with furries wanting special treatment as "trans species" or whatever.

Yes, you will be called a Nazi for objecting to a grocery store employee who identifies as a canine growling and barking at you, when all you really wanted to know was where the soda was.

 

[Snack Cracker]

I thought they weren't allowed to do that according to their own rainbow buttfuck rules

There’s no gate keeping allowed, of course unless they’re the ones holding the gate.

He’s just as ~valid~ of a tranny as Dylan Mulvaney.

 

[BohrokSwarms]

The best thing about this story for me is how he kept getting ideas or someone kept giving him suggestions like “no, make it Woman of Color,” “imagine if you added #GirlPower,” etc.

 

[Belligerent Monk II]

lmfao they started this retarded game and now they're mad that someone finally understands, and uses, the rule set?

Fuck it. I'm a transexual Nazi Eskimo with headmates. Where's my check?

 

[Sic Semper Tyrannosaurus]

The Star Press has some more, including some tranny complaining to him and his response:

"Charlize Jamieson do you think you have the only password to the forbidden world of coming out? When you decided to become a woman did people tell you it was unbecoming? Sorry pal but you don't get to be the decipher of who is acceptable and who isn't. I was hoping that you and I could be friends now that we're both ladies that used to be men. I'll give you some more time."

That's the point.

 

[Banh Xeo]

Good, make a mockery of this mockery

 

[Random Internet Person]

Yes, you will be called a Nazi for objecting to a grocery store employee who identifies as a canine growling and barking at you, when all you really wanted to know was where the soda was.

And this will be their anthem.

Good, make a mockery of this mockery

I think I’ve heard that a lot among the right after Trump: fight fire with fire and use the rules of the left against the left.

 

[JosephStalin]

Sounds real good to me. Hell, I've been a lesbian all my life. Only have sex with women.

 

[Ishtar]

The whole thing about the Liberal/Leftist "true self" ideology is that people can discover who they really are and you aren't supposed to question it, for any reason because it is their authentic identity, except when its mocked or parodied and then they argue its more objective than it has to be "real" and not just affirming people's fee fees.

If they were consistent, they'd be forced to take him at his word. They aren't because they know the entire ideology is based on political predispositions and people in fact don't "discover" their true identity which must be affirmed.

 

[Tasty Tatty]

Yeah, he's faking it, but the Canadian guy with the gigantic tits is true and honest...

But why is no one talking about this? Big if true.

 

[innocent jogger]

Hey, Clown World: That is a true and honest dyke sheboon. You are obviously both transphobic AND a racist if you don't respect her!

 

[Male Idiot]

Based. DeSantis, Trump, watch out! A challanger has appeared!

 

[Trout P]

And this will be their anthem.

Wow, that went places

 

[Elwood P. Dowd]

and mocking marginalized people by doing so.

How exactly are troons "marginalized" at this point? They seem to be celebrated in cluture everywhere from Bud Light to Disney to Coca Cola to the White House.

 

[Lucille Bluth]

And so the hypocrisy of the alphabet movement is highlighted in one article. If troons and non-binary is allowed, then so should this shit. If "race" and "gender" are all socially constructed, all self-identification should be allowed and taken seriously. You can't let one thing slide while preventing everyone else from doing the same.

Again, Webb's critics simply don't believe he is adopting a new identity, and is instead mocking transgender, nonbinary and other marginalized people with his public social media post.

This man's obvious trolling aside, failed actor turned little girl caricature and corporate puppet Dylan Mulvaney is an actual "woman", and any person who decides to reject their sex to be non-binary has to be taken seriously. But this crosses the line?

You can never get any actual, rational answer from them.

 

[pikachudidnothingwrong]

Now time to put that "self-ID, no questions allowed" theory and demand to the test!

Make sure to ask questions when people complain like "what is a lesbian" "what is a woman" and "what is race" for added salt as well as relevant argument.

EDIT: Thought of another good one: "What is a trans person"
