The nation’s transgender community, after a year of tremendous opposition from state legislatures and the president, is rejoicing Tuesday over the election of Andrea Jenkins, who gender advocates say has made history as the first openly transgender black woman elected to public office in the United States.
Jenkins, who has been elected to the Minneapolis City Council, became the second openly transgender candidate to win a race Tuesday night. Democrat Danica Roem is poised to be the first openly transgender person elected and seated in a state legislature in the country, beating a 13-term Virginia incumbent who called himself the state’s “chief homophobe” and who introduced a “bathroom bill” earlier this year that would have restricted the bathrooms his opponent could use.
Jenkins, 56, said she believes her and Roem’s victories are proof many of the nation’s communities won’t succumb to hatred, bigotry or transphobia — and are willing to fight for social justice and equality for all minority groups.
“Transgender people have been here forever, and black transgender people have been here forever,” Jenkins told The Post after her election night win. “I’m really proud to have achieved that status, and I look forward to more trans people joining me in elected office, and all other kinds of leadership roles in our society.”

What position did she play for the Redskins?....................
WOW! Triple victim! Just needs to become m*slim, and it will trump ALL other victim groups.
It’s going bald.
That’s a man, baby.
Freak!
The cracked mirror sums it all up.
And no one is supposed to say ‘a discouraging word’.
“Let’s all play ‘House’. I’ll be The Baby!’
Dude thinks he’s a lady ... but he is not nor ever he will be a she.
He is a he is a he. Even if he were surgically mutilated he would still be a he. His madness shouldn’t be coddled and approved of. It’s a pity he is a nut, but it isn’t my job or concern to indulge him: rather the opposite.
Celebrate Perversity!
Severely mentally ill people should not be put in leadership positions, to say the least.
How about locking the thing up until it somehow manages to figure out what sex it is?
If thinking you were a woman was a cure for baldness it still wouldn’t be any less crazy ... just crazy with more hair.
No way Sodum and Gomorrah was this twisted. The Lord must return very soon.
GOOD Grief...!!! My late father would want to take “it”, home. He could place “it”, out in his cornfield. “It”, would have crows bringing back corn, they had stole three years ago.
The MSM is thrilled that some freaks won an election. And, the bigger thrill for them is their conviction that society is moving in a truly more moral direction.
The election of the freaks is certainly an indictment against the ones who voted for the freaks.
I would bet that none of the people that voted for it, can name a single issue that it supports that is not somehow “trans-related”.
I can’t figure out why these mentally disturbed men are so desperate to become ugly women.
Science denier
Facts are such cruel things. Feelings are more important.
Gonna self-censor on this one too.
