Transgender and intersex Maine Senate candidate Ashley Webb sent social media astir after citing her ability to write songs as a qualification during a debate Thursday.

'I ran for office several times, didn't win, but I did run and then, I'm a songwriter and then I write my own books,' Webb responded, with a laugh.
She went on to cite her 'transparency.'

Plus, everyone is allowed to use the bathroom, just not the wrong one, and that also applies to everyone equally.
I was thinking like Rick Harrison from 'Pawn Stars', like this is some big "reality TV" gag.

If Meatloaf and Michael Moore had a baby.
Update!
