Pdoggg Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Why are most transgender politicians named Misty? Can't answer that but they both won their primaries and will be running for Congress in November. Their campaigns are about more than gender identity as they both supported Bernie Sanders, The times they are a changing! Quote Primary voters in Utah and Colorado selected transgender women to run for spots in Congress next fall — a first in major-party American political history. Misty K. Snow will run against tea party favorite Sen. Mike Lee in Utah this November, while Misty Plowright will challenge Rep. Doug Lamborn in Colorado. Both women will face uphill battles this fall: Snow in Republican-heavy Utah and Plowright in Colorado’s 5th congressional district, the most conservative in the state. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/misty-snow-plowright-transgender-congress-224921 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyzzy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Colorado's 5th District was created in 1973. Since then there have only been four congressmen. All Republican and they each served for a long time. This is a throw away election for Democrats. But I guess it will bring transgender awareness to the general public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdoggg Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 In the first statewide referendum on transgender rights, Massachusetts voters on Tuesday said “yes” to maintaining a 2016 law that extended nondiscrimination protections to transgender people, including their use of public bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity. With nearly 50 percent of precincts reporting, the “Yes” vote garnered 70 percent of the vote, compared to 30 for the “No” vote. The results are pending official confirmation. “Massachusetts voters reaffirmed our Commonwealth as a place that fiercely defends our basic values of dignity and respect for everyone,” Carol Rose, executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, said in a statement shared with NBC News. “At a time when transgender rights are being threatened nationally, we absolutely must preserve the rights we have secured at the state level.” The outcome in Massachusetts was a huge relief to LGBTQ-rights activists across the country, who feared that a vote to repeal the 2016 law would prompt a wave of similar efforts to roll back protections in other states. Already, some protections at the federal level are under threat from President Donald Trump's administration. “Voters in Massachusetts made history tonight and sent a clear message that transgender rights are human rights,” Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of national LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD, said in a statement. “This victory for transgender people all around the country is the latest sign that the Trump Administration’s attempts to discriminate against transgender Americans are completely out of step with where the American public is.” Opponents of the 2016 nondiscrimination law have been trying to repeal it since its passage. The group Keep MA Safe said the law enables people with “evil intentions” to “prey on the vulnerable.” “We are deeply disappointed that the people of Massachusetts will continue to be forced to sacrifice their privacy and safety in the name of political correctness,” Andrew Beckwith of Keep MA Safe said. “Our commitment to defending the fundamental rights to privacy and safety, particularly for women and children, will not change. We will move forward, developing other strategies to protect the rights of those who are negatively affected by this law.” The ballot measure attracted the attention of celebrities and transgender advocates across the U.S., who used the hashtag #YesOn3 to show their support for the anti-discrimination measure. https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/massachusetts-backs-transgender-rights-historic-statewide-referendum-n933516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could relate to a male, female or transexual. That would be PCism taken to extremes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
