Laurel Libby, a three-term state representative in Maine, was censured by the Maine legislature in a party-line vote for a post consisting of side-by-side photos of a male athlete last year competing as a man, and this year winning the girls state championship in pole vault. She is not allowed to vote or even speak until she apologizes. Instead of caving, as everyone else in this situation in Maine's history has done, she's fighting.

"Any and all harms observed and reported," Engler argues, "can be explained by a combination of: mistreatment, maltreatment, non-treatment, neglect, abuse and data fraud."
