First transgender woman elected to congress

@Thrust There is a reason why that sort of thing is a stereotype about red states. Red states also fight to keep child marriage legal too.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow

In the meantime you have a coutry, Canada, which is 90% inbred

@Baremine I understand what you are saying. But I disagree. The very essence of life is to change who you are to become who you want to be.

@James25 can't change the DNA. Born male always male no matter what you remove or add. Same thing for women.

@Baremine Without knowing it, you actually proved my point. It is within the DNA that these kinds of changes are occurring. Within the DNA there were certain changes that occurred that created a predisposition towards identifying with the opposite sex. Therefore these changes will manifest within the person's brain chemistry.

@trollslayer ok.

What would be ideal would be them having their own bathroom.

@specman Yes, that would solve a lot of the problems. But it would not solve the bigotry and prejudice against them. It would persist regardless of any solution because they don't want them to exist.

@trollslayer I think you'd find that most biological women wouldn't feel confortable sharing the ladies toilets with a trans woman. It's not right or wrong, it's just an understandable viewpoint.

@GeniUs I think it is actually very easy to quantify. Are they actually helping and benefiting their constituency. That is how you would measure them doing a good job.

@James25 Yes but it is difficult to evaluate the big picture accurately if I may use the example of PM Blair (UK) and this was at the time of Clinton who also likes to blow his trumpet about the good times he brought to the US. They both claimed that there was unprecedented growth during their administrations but this was reflected worldwide so it was unlikely that their policies had caused it. I'm going to drop Clinton out of the equation now but Blair's legacy, was a massive increase in public spending and debt that has never been recovered and there was also almost unilateral fraud of public funds by MPs (the elected) expenses but this was waved away with the destruction of all expense information.
TLDR it's usually very difficult to quantify when a politician does a good job down to the many external factors influencing them.

@TheShanachie you are right about that

@specman No I do not think I am a woman. I just don't have a problem with someone wanting to be a woman. So what. That's their business. Why do you care if they want to be a woman? What's it to you?

@James25 I care when I am supposed to recognize that a man is a woman, biological males using women’s bathroom’s, male’s being allowed to violate women’s spaces and male’s in female sports.
