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.
Phillipe Cunningham’s victory took longer because of Minneapolis’ instant-runoff voting system. But by Wednesday afternoon, the city announced Cunningham — a 29-year old transgender man who had worked in the mayor’s office — had unseated the seat’s longtime incumbent and current council president, Barb Johnson.
Neither candidate made their gender identity a focal point of their campaigns. But Jenkins said their victories will “encourage young transgender people to keep on fighting, to keep on living, because we can be active and productive members of our community.” …

Can’t meet something that there is no definition for. I’ve met men who thought they were women, yes; but only because they are concentrated in the cities.
“representative” government — how many citizens are being “represented”, here? Not many...
The caliphate will not be happy a bout this!
Well isn’t that just so special.
Bestiality. Already being done.
And they’re watching. After all, the left made sure of their presence there.
We need to edit the asspress butchering of the language and playing make believe with pronouns. Don’t let the left control the language. When they publish a story that falsely calls a man a woman and vice versa, we should edit the story for them. Don’t let them dictate the terms.
It’s not a female. It’s a man. Don’t let them dictate the language.
We shouldn’t let them. We need to start taking the language back. Call a man a man, no matter how the man plays dress up. When the lie in their stories about gender, we should edit the news story when we post it here. Don’t let them control the language.
Welcome to 2017.. the year in which trannies became all the rage.
Who would vote to be lead by someone who is this confused about themselves? I’m sure they can otherwise present as somewhat intelligent, but come on people. Really?
Doubling down on stupid. Mpls. elected another “sanctuary city” mayor fruitcake, as well. Loves immigrants, hates police.
Guess who they’re going to take out all their anger on because of their mental problems?
Nothing against them, but really, this does show that the vast majority of NORMAL people want nothing to do with politics.
For very good reason.
We eagerly await the silly, brainless, and absurd “laws” that’ll ooze from that Council.
Either that or the machine shuts them out.
I keep saying,”How much crazier can it get in Minnesota than Jesse Ventura and Al Franken?”. I better stop asking. I think they’re taking it as a challenge.......
Oh well, transgendered - couldn’t ask for better qualifications than that - the people of Minneapolis will deserve the government they’re going to get.....
