A biological male (aka A MAN, DUDE, GUY, BRO, etc.) who identifies as a woman is now positioning himself as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine after Graham Platner stepped aside.
What is in the water in Maine? Seriously.
Anywho ... going by Ashley Webb, the candidate—born James Charles Webb in 1983—has built a campaign around typical progressive talking points, we think. Honestly, this guy is an even bigger mess than you'd expect for a progressive Democrat, and considering how nutso that whole group is? Yeah, yikes.
And speaking of yikes, this guy's social media is even worse than you'd expect.
Despite admitting on Substack to being biologically male, Webb has a long trail of social media posts claiming to possess female anatomy, such as ovaries. The revelation comes as the race heats up, raising fresh questions about identity politics in Democratic primaries.

I can reveal the real identity of "Ashley" Webb, the Maine trans leftist running to replace Graham Platner as the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate.

His real name is James Charles Webb, and he was born in August 1983.

... his social media writings reveal a long history of posts where he claims to have female anatomy, like ovaries. Webb's Senate campaign logo is a parody mocking Turning Point USA.
Men who think they're women are not sane. Or, you know, INSANE.
Nuttier than a squirrel's BM.

What? He’s a male? How would we ever guess that?
— Pearl Bodine (@ChickenChoker8) July 18, 2026
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
We mean, gosh, we're shocked that's a man as well. Totally. Ahem.
If he's bleeding out of his asshole regularly, his doctors have something more important to do with him than CAT scans looking for invisible lady parts.

Yeah ... about that.
He claims his doctors are "incompetent."

On his campaign website, Ashley Webb, the “trans woman” running for U.S. Senate in Maine, boasts that he received 23% of the vote in his 2012 race for the New Hampshire House. At the time, he still went by his birth name of James C. Webb Jr.
Interestingly,… pic.twitter.com/HrxpeaUlyP
Post continues:
... Interestingly, those 269 votes came in the Republican primary. His father, Jim Webb, served as a Republican state representative from 2010 to 2020, so it’s possible he benefited from name recognition. Until recently, Ashley’s campaign Facebook profile featured one of his father’s old campaign signs with “Ashley” scribbled over “James.”Reddit posts from 2020 show that he supported Donald Trump and expressed conservative views, criticizing socialism and feminism and mocking “libtards.” A candidate questionnaire states that he opposed abortion, gun control, and tax increases.
Yet when he ran for the New Hampshire House again in 2020, he did so as a Democrat. He finished last in a three-way Democratic primary with 107 votes.
His online presence went quiet until 2025, when he started identifying as a woman named Ashley. A Facebook profile that appears to belong to him portrays him as a nurse living in Boston and features what appear to be AI-generated photos of a young brunette. He now believes that he has internal female reproductive organs and has been misdiagnosed by doctors for years.
It is not kind to normalize this kind of delusion instead of getting him help.
And yet, he's still better than Graham Platner.
Oof.
