内部人士称：俄亥俄州民主党正在审查反对跨性别者权益的广告有两篇批评众议员Marcy Kaptur发布的反跨性别者广告的帖子已被删除。
Insiders: Ohio Democratic Party is censoring anti-trans ads criticism Search Two posts pushing back against Rep. Marcy Kaptur’s anti-trans ads have been removed.
（来源：Ken Schneck，选举与政治栏目，2026年9月28日）俄亥俄州民主党指责该党领导层删除了那些批评Marcy Kaptur广告的社交媒体帖子。Kaptur正在俄亥俄州西北部第9选区竞选连任。
By Ken Schneck Elections, Politics September 28, 2026 Ohio Democrats are accusing their own party leadership of removing social media posts that pushed back on anti-trans ads released by Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who is running for re-election in the 9th Congressional District in Northwest Ohio. Kaptur released two anti-transgender political ads last week, just weeks ahead of Ohio’s contentious Nov. 3 election.
上周，Kaptur发布了两则反对跨性别者权益的政治广告，此时距离俄亥俄州11月3日的选举仅剩几周时间。第一则广告发布在社交媒体平台X上，Kaptur在广告中表示：“我曾与共和党人合作，阻止跨性别者相关内容进入我们的学校；因为父母最了解自己孩子的利益——男孩不应该参加女孩的运动项目。”
The first ad, posted to the social media site X, features Kaptur saying that she “voted with Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of our schools, because parents know what’s best for their kids – and boys should not play in girls’ sports.”In the second ad, Kaptur speaks to her own record breaking ranks with the Democratic party, including saying “no to teaching gender ideology in schools.”
在第二则广告中，Kaptur公开反对民主党的一些传统立场，声称“不应在学校教授性别相关的内容”。
The national LGBTQ+ media monitoring nonprofit GLAAD has called use of the term “gender ideology” an anti-transgender dogwhistle, describing it as “a malicious rhetorical construct that falsely asserts that LGBTQ – notably trans – people are an ideological movement rather than an intrinsic identity.”
全国性的LGBTQ+媒体监督组织GLAAD指出，“性别意识形态”这一术语其实是一种针对跨性别者的隐晦攻击手段，属于恶意修辞手法——这种说法错误地将LGBTQ+群体（尤其是跨性别者）描述为一种“意识形态运动”，而非他们的真实身份。卢卡斯县民主党（Lucas County Democrats）是众多反对这些广告的团体之一，他们公开要求Kaptur撤下这些广告。
The Lucas County Democrats was one of many groups to push back on the ads and publicly called on Kaptur to take the ad down. The Pride Caucus – one of 10 caucuses of the ODP – shared that post on social media on September 23.
“Pride Caucus”（俄亥俄州民主党旗下的十个党团之一）于9月23日在社交媒体上分享了这些批评性帖子。然而这些帖子很快就被删除了。
The post was deleted. Later the same day, the Pride Caucus shared the post again as they didn’t know that the first post had been intentionally removed.
当天晚些时候，由于该组织并不知道第一篇帖子已被故意删除，他们再次发布了这些内容，但很快又被删除了。
Within minutes, the post was again deleted.
Ari Childrey以支持者的身份（而非“Pride Caucus”副主席的身份）向独立记者Erin Reed表示，俄亥俄州民主党确实可以访问“Pride Caucus”的社交媒体账户。
Speaking as an advocate and not in her role as the vice-chair of the Pride Caucus, Ari Childrey told independent journalist Erin Reed that the ODP has access to the Pride Caucus’ social media accounts.
“ODP最初甚至都没有尝试与我们联系，”Childrey说道，“他们直接进入了我们的社交媒体账号，然后删除了那些被转发的内容。现在他们要求ODP能够访问所有党内小组的社交媒体账号。”Pride Caucus指导委员会的另一位成员告诉《The Buckeye Flame》，ODP不会批准那些反对其支持的候选人的帖子（比如Kaptur）；同时，ODP对县级政党的社交媒体帖子也没有控制权。
“There was no effort to even reach out to us initially by the ODP,” Childrey said. “They simply went into our social media and deleted the reshare. They are now requiring that the ODP have access to any of the internal caucuses’ social media.”
“在候选人还没有愿意进行任何幕后沟通的情况下就分享这些帖子，其实并不是在批评他们，而是在要求候选人支持当地社区，”Childrey在《Morning》节目中对Erin说。
Another member of the Pride Caucus steering committee told The Buckeye Flame that ODP does not approve caucus posts that advocate against an endorsed candidate – like Kaptur – and that ODP does not have the same control over the posts of county parties.
ODP的工作人员以及其党组织领导层都没有回应《The Buckeye Flame》的多次采访请求。
“Sharing this [post] when the candidate has not opened the doors for any type of conversation behind-the-scenes is not even a criticism as much as it is asking the candidate to support the community,” Childrey told Erin in the Morning.
