“Lynn Chadwick” / Lynn Meagher vs. transgender people

Lynn Meagher is an American anti-transgender extremist and unsupportive parent to two adult transgender children, both of whom are estranged from Meagher.

Meagher also uses the alias “Lynn Chadwick.” As Chadwick, Meagher is associated with anti-trans groups Genspect and Themis Resource Fund.

Background

Lynn Frances Meagher was born on January 26, 1962. Meagher worked in nursing in Washington State from 1985 to 2021.

According to a social media account, in 2022 Chadwick was in a relationship with biology professor Arla Hile (born 1962).

Anti-transgender activism

Meagher has appeared on religious and conservative programs. Meagher reportedly lost both children to the “transgender cult.”

Meagher’s children disagree:

“She didn’t lose me to a cult,” her eldest daughter said, clarifying that she is estranged from her mum because Meagher is “racist”, “abusive”, “transphobic”, “greedy”, “cruel” and “religiously intolerant”.

“She lost me because she’s a piece of s**t,” she added. “It’s true, we won’t speak to her, although her TERF-ness was only the tip of the iceberg. She was extremely emotionally and physically abusive growing up.”

Meagher frequently appears at anti-trans events and was part of the group blog Compassion Coalition. On that blog, Meagher’s self-written bio states:

Lynn works as an advocate for parents of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) kids and as a spokesperson for the Kelsey Coalition. She feels honored to work with many gifted and talented women through the Hands Across the Aisle coalition.

Lynn has recently become involved in activism against Drag Queen Story Hours at public libraries and helped to start Ask Moms on Facebook to inform and equip ordinary people everywhere to stand against the sexualization of children. She worked as a nurse in Neonatal Intensive Care for 28 years.
