Rep. James Thibault, a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, made several posts on his Twitter account on August 8, 2025, addressing various topics including direct deposit payments and social transitions in clinics.
In one post from August 8, Thibault commented: “GOAT https://t.co/mRZU3nKUtI”.
Shortly after, he questioned ongoing direct deposit payments for individuals not fulfilling their responsibilities: “Wait—they were still getting direct deposit after shirking their duties? https://t.co/KJkIUCeQKl” (August 8, 2025).
Later that evening, Thibault called for policy changes regarding gender-related healthcare practices: “Let’s repeal the grandfather clause and ban clinics and therapists from engaging in social transitions https://t.co/k3kwfC0Cjx” (August 8, 2025).
Thibault serves as a state legislator representing New Hampshire. The term “grandfather clause” often refers to provisions that allow existing practices or entities to continue operating under old rules while new regulations are implemented for others. Social transition typically involves non-medical aspects of gender transition such as name or pronoun changes and is a subject of ongoing legislative debate across the United States.
