Christine Hallquist, a Transgender Woman, Wins Vermont Governor’s Primary
New York Times ^ | August 14, 2018 | Jess Bidgood

On a cloudy afternoon this summer, Christine Hallquist, a former utility executive from Vermont, listened closely as Danica Roem, the Virginia state delegate who won national recognition when she became the first transgender person elected to her state’s Legislature, offered tips as the pair canvassed a stark residential neighborhood here.

Ms. Hallquist is transgender, too, but Ms. Roem’s advice had nothing to do with gender identity. Try a light, rhythmic knock. Leave a handwritten note with campaign literature if no one is home. Try to earn every vote.

“I have so much to learn,” Ms. Hallquist said, duly incorporating Ms. Roem’s lessons with each new knock.

On Tuesday, those lessons paid off, and Ms. Hallquist, a Democrat, made history of her own. She became the first transgender candidate to be nominated for a governorship by a major party, beating three other candidates in Vermont’s Democratic primary, according to The Associated Press.

The current VT governor, Phil Scott, who is running again, beat the Rat in Nov 2016 by nearly 9 points.

Seems unlikely that this mentally-ill freak will beat him, unless Scott has been a crappy governor.

A box of lunatics it might seem.

Good Grief, Mrs. Doubtfire and Tootsie were more feminine looking than this poor fellow.

Thank you for quoting from “How Shall We Then Live” = my favorite work by Francis Schaeffer.

Yes, we are at that point. I tremble for our nation.

If you remember the Bud Light Beer “Ladies Night” commercials of years ago, she looks like one of the male actors who dressed in drag to drink free beer at a bar.

“Aren’t feminists upset that now women with penises are winning more sports and elections?”

The world turned upside down!

The ancient Chinese philosophical rendering of “May you live in interesting times!” Was actually a curse.

The character in the green outfit is a spitting image of Hallquist.

Crikey. When I saw The VT ballots today, I was surprised to see how many slots, had no one running for them.

But I think the progressive ballot was full. But I forgot my reading glasses; so, I don’t know who exactly, I voted for.

No one asked me for an ID. Crikey.

“Hopefully she/he will be defeated in the general election. “

Vermont could nominate a queer baboon and it would win as long as it had a D before its name.

Benny was a renowned cook, too...

       How To Cook Chinese (Benny Hill)

(When I was looking for that Benny Hill clip on youtube, I encountered the following clip from a few years ago, where I was a bit shocked to see Germaine Greer, a big name in the "Women's Liberation" movement in the last century, say (the obvious) that transgender "women" are not really women...)     (Language warning for this second clip!)

The ongoing attempt to normalize mental illness is insanity in itself. This person is sick and should be treated . What pathetic sickness in DIM/LIB lunatics .
