In a stunning turn of events that's less 'political theater' and more 'Queer Eye: Election Special,' Mayor Mildred McMillan, known for her fiery anti-trans rhetoric and recent 'Protect Our Precious Hetero-Normativity' rally, has adopted a transgender child. Sources say the child, a precocious seven-year-old named 'Hunter' (who insists on being called 'Hunter-Gatherer' and prefers they/them pronouns), was found wandering near the rally clutching a tattered copy of 'Gender Queer' and a half-eaten rainbow bagel.

Eyewitnesses report McMillan, initially seen screaming into a megaphone about the 'dangers of gender fluidity,' experienced a dramatic shift in demeanor upon seeing Hunter-Gatherer's glitter-encrusted sneakers. 'It was like a 'Godfather' moment, but instead of a baptism, it was a gender affirmation,' one attendee whispered, adding, 'And instead of a horse's head, it was a really cute pronoun pin.'

McMillan's spokesperson, Brenda, released a statement which somehow managed to be both cryptic and incredibly verbose: 'The Mayor's transformative experience highlights the power of intersectional understanding; a journey that transcends binary expectations and embraces the fluid tapestry of human experience. Furthermore, Hunter-Gatherer's impeccable taste in footwear has inspired a line of 'High-Heeled Heels for High-Heeled Hopes' for the upcoming mayoral election.'

Social media has exploded. #MayorMcMillanMadeAMistake is trending alongside #UnexpectedAdoption #TransRightsAreHumanRights, and bizarrely #HunterGathererForMayor2028. Some speculate this is all a brilliant PR stunt to win the LGBTQ+ vote, while others believe McMillan is undergoing a genuine spiritual awakening – possibly facilitated by the child's extensive collection of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' DVDs.

This unexpected development leaves us wondering: is this a genuine paradigm shift, a masterclass in political maneuvering, or simply the result of a very persuasive seven-year-old with a compelling argument for a pet unicorn? Only time – and Hunter-Gatherer's next proclamation – will tell.
