Psychologist Leaves California as License Threatened After Questioning Transgenderism for Children

California psychologist whose license to practice was threatened after she spoke out against teaching transgender ideology to third-grade students, as well as statewide lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, said leaving the state was the best option.

Dr. Shannae Anderson, a clinical and forensic psychologist with 23 years of experience, was heckled by trans activists at a local school board meeting in Thousand Oaks, California, last June and harassed on social media. She said she received death threats and was targeted by leftwing extremist groups, including Antifa.

โ€œI got a phone call from a friend of mine who works for the FBI who said my name came across his desk because Antifa was creating a list of people to go after,โ€ she told The Epoch Times.

Anderson moved to Virginia in September to become the co-director for ethics and advocacy of the American Association of Christian Counselors, which bills itself as the worldโ€™s largest faith-based mental health organization.

School Board Controversy

Anderson, a native of Thousand Oaks, confronted the board at a Conejo Valley Unified School District meeting in June 2022, alleging that 8-year-olds were being exposed at school to sexual issues beyond their comprehension.

โ€œAt that age, children operate with concrete thinking. They donโ€™t have abstract thinking, so they can only think in black and white. They donโ€™t understand gray,โ€ she told The Epoch Times. โ€œAnd so, if youโ€™re talking about these abstract concepts, such as transgender ideology, itโ€™s just going to confuse them. Theyโ€™re not going to understand.โ€

The following week, as Anderson was preparing for another meeting on June 20, she received a call from a local city council member alerting her to an email that showed a transgender activist who advises a school board committee had filed a 51-page complaint against Anderson to the California Board of Psychology.

The activist stated in the complaint obtained by The Epoch Times that Anderson presented an โ€œimminent risk of substantial harm to students and familiesโ€ within the school district and to all residents of Thousand Oaks and Ventura County and accused her of โ€œmaking claims about transgender people that reinforce bigotry, exclusion and harmful acts.โ€
