A Democrat Senate candidate in Maine has become the latest example of the absurd extremes in identity politics, after admitting on Reddit that he believes he has a “monthly period” that comes from his rectum.

The candidate, Ashley Webb, identifies as a transgender and intersex “woman” and is running to replace disgraced former contender Graham Platner, who withdrew from the race following serious allegations of sexual assault.

Webb’s statements, buried on internet forums but resurfacing as he campaigns for higher office, reveal a concerning mixture of biological confusion and unfiltered self-diagnosis shared publicly for all to see.

He described experiencing what he calls “monthly period pain” and claims that internal bleeding escapes through his colon, not in the usual way one might expect of a person claiming to menstruate.

During the Democratic primary debates, Webb framed his run as a fight for “basic dignity” for the transgender community.

“If they want me to use the men’s room, I will, but I don’t want to be assaulted,” he said, framing restroom use as a matter of safety.

Yet the discussion has since shifted from bathrooms to biology after his strange Reddit confessions made their way into the headlines.

Posting under the username sparky603, Webb introduced himself online as “a trans and intersex woman from Farmington” who is running his campaign without major donors or organizational backing.

He admitted he is a “long shot in a crowded field,” but has shown no hesitation in sharing the personal minutiae of his alleged medical condition.

His Reddit posts read more like a stream of consciousness than a political platform.

At one point, Webb claimed, “My testosterone is at 429ng/dl and estrogen is at 285 pg/ml. The estrogen is not effecting my male parts. Male parts are normal size. I grew breasts and wider hips during puberty.”

It is a statement that might leave many doctors scratching their heads, not to mention voters wondering just what kind of candidate the Maine Democrats have placed on the ballot.

He went on to assert he experiences ovulation cycles and monthly bleeding despite lacking a uterus or ovaries.

“When the monthly pain is real bad, I am feeling something in both my right and left side and above my bladder,” he wrote.

The self-proclaimed Democrat hopeful then detailed how this supposed “menstrual blood” exits through his colon, because, to use his own words, he does not have “the proper hole.”

Webb even cited what he called “a guy in China” with a similar situation as though that provided some kind of scientific backing.

The candidate lamented that American doctors were too “incompetent” to diagnose him correctly, claiming they preferred to prescribe painkillers instead of addressing what he feels inside his abdomen.

His frustration stemmed from repeated colonoscopies and scans that found no trace of female organs, something he blamed on medical records listing him as male.

Despite the increasingly bizarre medical claims, Webb insists his bid for the Maine Senate is not centered on his gender identity.

“My platform is healthcare accountability, rural infrastructure investment, corporate accountability, government transparency, and where I stand on foreign policy,” he wrote in another message.

“Representation matters, but I’m not asking anyone to vote for me just because of who I am.”

The trouble is, that is precisely what his campaign has become known for.

The contrast could not be sharper. While Republican candidates across the country are talking about economic revival, energy independence, and parental rights, Democrats in Maine are rallying behind a man who believes in “monthly rectal menstruation.”

It is the perfect reflection of a political party that treats biology as optional and substitutes science with self-identification.

What makes this more troubling is how mainstream media outlets will likely tiptoe around Webb’s claims, careful not to “offend” activists.

Yet most Americans, including many moderate Democrats, see through this delusion.

The idea that someone can publicly claim to ovulate from their colon and still be taken seriously as a Senate candidate speaks volumes about the state of the modern Democratic Party.

That does not mean Webb will gain traction at the polls.

In a crowded primary field, his odds are slim, and his peculiar medical tales are unlikely to charm rural Maine voters concerned about inflation, crime, and failing infrastructure.

However, his campaign reflects something larger happening in Democratic politics. Increasingly, personal identity matters more than competence, and fantasy replaces fact.

WATCH:

If there is a silver lining, it is that this spectacle gives voters a preview of what would happen if such candidates ever reached Washington.

Instead of tackling issues like border enforcement, veterans’ care, or fiscal responsibility, the conversation would revolve around personal pronouns, feelings, and speculative “female cycles” in male bodies.

For anyone still wondering how far detached the modern left has become from reality, Ashley Webb’s campaign serves as Exhibit A.
