A transgender woman who used to run a sex toy company called Good Vibrations reportedly is being labeled as the "conservative" candidate in a local San Francisco race.

SF Weekly reports that Theresa Sparks, a candidate for a seat on the city's Board of Supervisors, is being criticized as the insider, conservative pick.

Sparks is backed by Mayor Gavin Newsom and held a seat on the city's Police Commission. She allegedly drifts "conservative" by opposing a hotel tax and, according to one local paper, declining to put pressure on the city's police officers while serving on the disciplinary panel.

But Sparks dismissed that label in an interview with SF Weekly.

"This points to how people in this city love to construe and redefine the term 'progressive,'" she said.

According to Sparks' personal website, she was born a man but eventually changed her appearance to look like a woman after two marriages -- to women -- ended in divorce.

said just yesterday, “conservative is the new liberal.”

[FlingWingFlyer]

Well, it is San Francisco. Anyone who doesn’t defecate or urinate in public is usually considered as being a conservative.

[EagleUSA]

Yeah, I was going to ask what do you have to do to be called a “conservative” in San Freakcisco? Still laughing over this.....

[Darksheare]

Well, that partially explains why we’ve had so many trolls over the past couple months claiming that homosexuality/lesbianism/transgender is a ‘conservative value’.
That and the judge having his panties in a tizzy over Prop 8.

This. City. Must. Die.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

LOL! Figures.

Marx would be considered a tea party candidate in that city.

Good point. anybody who doesn’t do the bizarre things in public is conservative in S.F.

The whole trans-gender issue would be a big issue anywhere else. But in S.F., the whole culture is liberal to start with, with critical masses of the LGBT community. So he/she/it is considered just another variation of the alphabet of diversity they love in S.F.

More like the alphabet of "perversity"!

Maybe she is a libertarian, they like to try and confuse libertarian and conservative.

[Stormdog]

It needs to put the pearls up higher; the Adam’s apple is showing.

[Brilliant]

Exactly. She’s about as conservative as they come in San Francisco.
