Man charged with threatening doctor over transgender care

BOSTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors have charged a Texas man with threatening a Boston physician who cares for transgender children.

Thirty-eight-year-old Matthew Jordan Lindner of Comfort, Texas, faces a charge of transmitting interstate threats. He was arrested Friday in Texas by the FBI and is expected to appear in federal court in Massachusetts at a later date.

Authorities say the targeted physician works for a national LGBTQ health education center based in Boston. In August, Jordan allegedly called the center and left a profane and threatening voice message in which he said a group of people were coming for the physician.

Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins said that while the threat targeted a specific doctor, it also victimized LGBTQ people and their families.

I don't know if this was posted previously or not, but I missed it.

A Texas man takes it upon himself to threaten a doctor in Boston!?!?!?

Whatever happened to "states' rights"?

These people clearly have way more time (and hate) than I do.

Good grief!

I think Matt Walsh, very very anti lgbtq youtuber, whipped up the hate against specific east coast hospitals

The Massachusetts Hospital has been targeted by the lunatics who have been unhinged by the "news" (news to them, at least) that transgender persons exist.
