    Unhappy "Transgender" "woman" wins Democratic nomination for Vermont governor

    Vermont Democrats made Christine Hallquist the first openly transgender person to win a major party nomination for statewide office in U.S. history as she clinched Tuesday's primary election for governor.She defeated three other Democrats and will take on incumbent Governor Phil Scott, a Republican, in the Nov. 6 general election, unofficial results showed.


    This year, 43 transgender candidates have run for political office at all levels in the United States, most of them Democrats but a few running as independents, for the Green Party or for nonpartisan offices, according to Logan Casey, a research associate at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
    Hallquist is the first openly transgender candidate to win a major party nomination for governor or a statewide office of any kind.
    She enjoys name recognition as the former David Hallquist, the onetime chief executive of the Vermont Electric Cooperative who publicly transitioned to a female identity while leading the power utility in 2015.


    Before Vermont's election, only four transgender candidates had won primaries in 2018, all at the statehouse level, and have a general election ahead. Seventeen have lost primary or general elections and 21 have yet to face voters, Casey's research shows.
    Vermont has a history of being first on gender-related issues. It was the first state to allow civil unions for same-sex couples in 2000 and in 2009 became the first state to legalize gay marriage through the state legislature.

    It's their own fault for not laughing this freak out of the state the moment they showed up. Watch this dude prioritize giving perverts access to children.

    Most of these dudes don't cut their junk off and 3/4ths of them claim to be lesbian. I call them creepy sex predators and a clear and present danger to innocents.

    Yes there is but it won't be pretty, they will initiate violence if/when the laws/judicial precedents are fixed.

    That will provide license to deal with them in the appropriate manner.

    I call bull$#@! on this!

    "I love Vermont because we look beyond these surface issues," Hallquist said. "I just happen to be a leader who is transgender. Vermonters know that. They voted to support me because of what I am going to do for Vermont."
    It was mass virtue signalling. It has nothing to do with what you can do for Vermont.

    Natch...I don't think anybody, if they are being honest with themselves, could possibly think otherwise.

    "Ooo, look how progressive and hip and tolerant we are."

    And he'll probably win in a landslide.

    Well, the TERFs are giving them a run for their money.

    Curious to see what new weirdosexual atrocity we will be told we must be "proud" of next...

    Animals??

    Fish???

    Cheap election ploy. Dude is a cross-dresser, at most, not a transgender. Quite possibly neither and just took advantage of the stupids that vote based on shallow junk like this.

    "Let it not be said that we did nothing."-Ron Paul

    "We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book

    When Rudy did the drag thing it was in innocent fun to show goodwill to a significant constituency at the time he was Mayor. Rocky Horror was still a thing back in those days, so everyone took it in that spirit... I was there, I remember.

    It wasn't his regular gig, and he certainly didn't play it straight and tell people he was actually a woman.

    If this transgender person took all of the same positions as Ron Paul, we’d hold a money bomb for them.

    Rumor has it that this person is as much of an idiot on the issues as Ocasio-Cortez.

    I am going to predict that you will never see a tranny with positions we would support, they are all insane and perverse.

    Wasn’t a public person, but another local Ron Paul supporter. There also used to be an active member here that was transgender.

    I'm actually rather surprised at the lack of acceptance here. We're free beings, a person should be able to do with their bodies as they wish as long as it doesn't harm others. Seems rather anti libertarian to be so hostile against gender identity issues.

    This isn't normally an ethical or morality issue either. Want perverse? just look at the latest catholic church reveals. now there are examples of lack of morality.

    Forcing others to believe a male is a female despite evidence to the contrary HARMS OTHERS. He can dress like a woman all he wants... no skin off my ass. I still know he is a man, believe he is a man, and would treat him as a man.
