Christine Hallquist, a Transgender Woman, Wins Vermont Governor’s Primary
New York Times ^ | August 14, 2018 | Jess Bidgood

On a cloudy afternoon this summer, Christine Hallquist, a former utility executive from Vermont, listened closely as Danica Roem, the Virginia state delegate who won national recognition when she became the first transgender person elected to her state’s Legislature, offered tips as the pair canvassed a stark residential neighborhood here.

Ms. Hallquist is transgender, too, but Ms. Roem’s advice had nothing to do with gender identity. Try a light, rhythmic knock. Leave a handwritten note with campaign literature if no one is home. Try to earn every vote.

“I have so much to learn,” Ms. Hallquist said, duly incorporating Ms. Roem’s lessons with each new knock.

On Tuesday, those lessons paid off, and Ms. Hallquist, a Democrat, made history of her own. She became the first transgender candidate to be nominated for a governorship by a major party, beating three other candidates in Vermont’s Democratic primary, according to The Associated Press.

I thought the 14 year old boy had a real chance. I guess trannies beat minors these days.

You’d think that in the freak-show Democratic primary, people would have had the sense to vote for the 14 year old rather than the tranny as less of an embarrassment, but so much for sense...

Aren’t feminists upset that now women with penises are winning more sports and elections?? How is that any different from before, when MEN (with the same penises) were winning everything?

“I remember the first time after transitioning, a stranger walking by told me to smile — I’m like, ‘Who the heck are you to tell me to smile?’” Ms. Hallquist said. “What my transition has taught me is just how far we have to go.”

Sounds like a real bitch.

It is a freak show in every sense of the word. They don’t run everyday average Americans anymore for office. It’s either hardcore communists, gays, lesbians, trannys, Muslims, criminals. Why is this party a major party in the USA?

Is a "transgender woman" a man who dresses like a woman, or a woman who dresses like a man?

It's all so complicated.

In other words, a Mentally Ill White Male won the Democrat Primary. I thought being a Whitey wasn’t cool.
