Transsexual Seeks GOP Nomination For Minnesota Legislature
 (Minneapolis, Minnesota) Chrissy Nakonsky is hoping to become the first transsexual elected to a state legislature.

Nakonsky who was married before she transitioned and remains with her wife has two children. She is seeking the Republican nomination in Brainerd.

"I've voted Republican all my life," Nakonsky told the Star Tribune newspaper. "Republicans swear by not raising taxes, and raising taxes would hurt families in poverty, like mine."

1. Hope she wins their nomination and loses in the general.

And not because of her gender.

But I think it's great she's running!

Is the Irish Drunkard saying it would be embarassing to have a transgender get the nomination of the party? 
But there is the "not that there's anything wrong with that" disclaimer at the end.
I feel that once a black fella has referred to white foks as "honky paleface devil white-trash cracker redneck Caspers," he's abdicated the right to get upset about the "N" word. But that's just me. -- Jim Goad
