Wade. She also advocates for transgender rights,pledging to introduce transgender-supportive legislation and opposing bans on gender-affirming surgeries for minors. Behn has criticized traditional gender roles and marriage, describing family structures centered on motherhood as &#8220;deeply patriarchal.&#8221; She has also condemned southern college sororities as symbols of white supremacy.<\/p>\n<p>Her <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >past social media posts support defunding<\/a> the police and have suggested that violent actions against police facilities are justified.

Mark Green&rsquo;s resignation. Both new and resurfaced footage has revealed that Behn has shown deep disdain for her potential constituents, condemned women for being wives and mothers, and even got dragged out of a sitting governor&rsquo;s office for rushing in without permission.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2019, Behn and Enough is Enough-Tennessee, an activist group she was part of, engaged in a sit-in outside of Republican Tennessee Gov.

David Byrd, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-bill-clinton-escaped-metoo\/\" title=\"ANALYSIS: Bill Clinton Escaped #MeToo\">faced sexual misconduct allegations<\/a>.
