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.

How is the ballot going to be written? Vote for He, She, or It?

Don’t know anything about the candidate. My question would be, are they qualified to be governor? If not, everything else is secondary, but then, again, Vermont was taken over by the Left in the 1970’s and they never loosened their control over politics.

Any one know how OLD this man/woman is?

He worked as an executive all his life then decided he wanted to be a woman..

wonder if he still has his MAN PART and are his so called breast real or fake?

Dose he have a family from when he was a Man? and does he now date Men, cause he says he is a woman? ..he was a SON to his parents, are they deceased, (hope so, how difficult that would be to handle)

damn, folks I'm 75 and this is one messed up crazy World...thank God, I've always been a Republican, at least we seem NORMAL...smh and LMAO

#48. At least Benny Hill was a great comedian in the vein of Monty Python, Flip Wilson (Geraldine), Milton Berle, and Bernie Sanders (don’t ask).

That kid is from my hometown of about 3000 residents. My Mom said she doesn’t even know who he is. I thought that was funny. She said he will probably run for class president and she hopes he loses there too. lol

In this video, a New York hotel magnate meets the Mayor, who is dressed as a woman:

The mayor is now one of his lawyers.

Why not? VT is the first state to implement parody marriage (civil unions.)

Trannies are highly likely to try to commit suicide. But I’m sure Vermonters are so proud.

Here’s a tip—

When news stories use terms like transgendered woman it can be confusing. The term obscures the truth. Deliberately so, in my opinion.

So, is the person really a man or a woman?

Solution, just replace the word transgendered with the word fake.

“Christine Hallquist, a fake Woman, Wins Vermont Governor’s Primary”

There you go. Clear as crystal.

Whenever they talk about “how far we have to go,” understand that they’re talking about totalitarianism. Criminalizing normality.

Apply the formula. Substitute “fake” for “transgender” and it makes perfect sense, that it doesn’t.

Hopefully we can win the seat now.

It really doesn’t matter to the Demonic-rats. They got their “first” in, and everything else is gravy now. The fact that a demented cross-dresser was the Demonic-rat choice in Vermont will be all that they crow about for years.
