Topic: Trans woman Danica Roem beats 'chief homophobe' Bob Marshall in historic Virginia race
Anonymous A started this discussion 8 years ago#68,016
History was made in Virginia on Tuesday when a 33-year-old woman became the state's first openly transgender elected official.
And to top off the momentous win, Democrat Danica Roem unseated a Republican incumbent who calls himself the state's "chief homophobe."
Roem, a journalist and metal-loving mom, beat out 26-year incumbent Robert G. Marshall, 73, for the House of Delegates seat that represents Prince William County.
Roem ran on a campaign focused on traffic issues, according to The Washington Post. Marshall refused to debate her and used male pronouns in attack ads, the newspaper reported.
Beyond reveling in his "chief homophobe" title, Marshall also modeled legislation on North Carolina's controversial bathroom bill. His, which aimed to prevent transgender students from using the bathroom of their choice, failed.
Roem joins a small club of openly transgender elected officials at a time when LGBTQ issues face political challenges. Trump's ban on transgender people serving in the military was partially blocked by a D.C. judge recently and North Carolina's bathroom bill has been repealed, but the fight goes on.

But having a conservative stance on this isn’t dictating anything.
The part of the trans movement that involves making up words and rewriting definitions is dictatorial.

I’m just using dictate as an adjective one two I don’t have an issue with anyone’s opinion, I just don’t feel obligated to pretend along with you.

you literally dictated illegitimacy over her mothership and womanhood which are pretty indisputable. what do you think her family would say? and they're wrong because... anonymous g disagrees?
what words have I made up? what definitions have I rewritten? you probably just don't want someone you can't fuck to be a woman
