Why don't we have a minimum quota of Trans politicians?

I think it'd be very inclusive and mean that trans women like me aren't persecuted by the government ever like Donald Trump is doing now

Because that would be horrible. Quotas for politicians...are you serious?

@ParaPacem Ok, now I know you're either trolling or the world's worst trans-activist. "Brothers" and "sisters" are binary terms and enforce the two-gender system SJWs are so offended by.

@Sicarium We have to be binary to conform to the patriarchy otherwise we're even more ostracised, if I said 'folk' you wouldn't even read my post like wtf

@ParaPacem Nah, you're either a fake or an idiot. Either way, good luck oppressing anyone. That's why we have the 2nd Amendment.

Shouldn't we instead focus on getting people who can do their jobs, instead of hiring people because "it would look good"?

Surely doing that would be better than using the trans community as a marketing tactic.

@GreensCornbreadYams To be fair one of, if not the largest contributor to Hillary's loss was the fact that "barely" anyone voted...I'd wager a good number of those people supported her and thought she wouldn't lose.

Which if you think about it, the irony is very sad indeed.

while i understand the fact that the most people in control are straight white guys, you can't judge a person by their sexuaiy. and if you had a quota on trans then you would need a quota on every minority and there goes democracy out the window because people would be elected based on things other than their ability to govern. what we need is more lbgt people running for high office.

You judge people by the context of their character,not color of skin or gender.

@ParaPacem No, he got in mainly because he was rich and could "get things done" in the eyes of his supporters.

Please don't throw casual racism around.
ParaPacem · 26-30, T
@MrBrownstone But I'm trans so my opinion matters more because I'm oppressed by the white patriarchy and we need to be heard
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@ParaPacem That’s your opinion.

You have a point but I'm frustrated in the fact I don't like the min. quota thing because I'd rather vote and support people based off their decisions and merit rather than "their trans, black, white, conservative, liberal."

That's what makes it hard for me to vote for a president or support anyone is because I'm anti establishment and they always put up people that I just call "pretty faces." They look good on the front page but deep down there's no substance.

@IstillmissEP In my opinion, the quota idea is racist. The majority power (whether Democrats or Republicans) will put up minority representation only to satisfy the public. They do barely enough to appease people. If you look from far away, they never REALLY do anything. It is smoke and mirrors.

Politics is a catch 22. The majority that goes along with it doesn't help, but then again we're not at that point in evolution yet that we can be trusted with each other.

We still have to have laws just to keep us from murdering and raping so we're
obviously not ready for all that 🙄

What do you have in mind? 0.05%?
ParaPacem · 26-30, T
@LucyCan 30% should be enough

We've had black politicians for decades and black people are still discriminated against. It's going to take a lot more than a few token representatives to change a culture
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
@SW-User Agreed...figureheads put in place to make a group look better do pretty much nothing.

@GreensCornbreadYams But straight white males don't accept anything outside of the white imperialist patriarchy, and I think they need to be re-educated
