Minneapolis has elected two black transgender representatives to its City Council, adding to what advocacy groups have described as a banner election for transgender people in public office.

Andrea Jenkins easily won the race Tuesday night for an open seat in south Minneapolis, with roughly 73 percent of the vote. Jenkins, a 56-year-old poet and historian who transitioned in her 30s, spent years as a policy aide to two previous council members in the same ward.

This is sick and evil. I suppose their voters do not have children themselves. Probably aborted them so they could have more time for Antifa activities.

Whatever you do, don't be late picking up Andrea's dry cleaning.

And every Progressive “knows” that transgender anything performs much better than normal gender things.

There is a bright side to all this, just imagine the utter despair we would all feel at this news if we also had to say “President Clinton”.

As it is, there is reason for great hope.

I call B.S.

Transgender people supposedly represent less than 1% of the populace. This city council is statistical outlier if this is not a con job.

By the looks of the eyes I wouldn’t be surprised if it shows up at a church someday.

So with the one in VA, there are now three. Probably over-represented as a percent of the population.

mmmm how mucb voter fraud was taking place , since another cross dressing freak won in VA too, and to win by that much of a margin smells fishy.

A female transgender won a seat in just says state legislature of Virginia in yesterday's election. Are they going to represent everyone equally or use it as a platform to advance their agenda?

Right now, the term would be “transgender woman” for male-to-“female”. “Danica” Roem was born Dan Roem.

I say “right now” because I don’t know what the left will change the terminology to in the future.
