It could honestly happen this year, 2020, etc. Could have happened in 2016 or earlier too. It just needs to be a strongly-liberal district.

Barnie Frank came out back in the 80's or early 90's as gay, didn't he? But he was safe because he was good for his district, and probably in a liberal district.

It just better not be one of those who says rapey sounding things about how heterosexual people have a "duty" to have sex with trans people. That would be a huge setback for trans people.

I mean, this seems about as likely as a lesbian separatist being elected to Congress.

Like you'd actually care about trans rights going backwards.

I've said before I support trans rights and attacking people for not wanting to have sex with a trans person or forcing people to specify pronouns are the only issues I have with some of their activists.

Lots of trans people hate both of those things and I have no problem with any of them.

These are both strawmen, as has been explained to you multiple times.

And considering that trans kids being validated is one of the things that has historically pissed you off(whereas transphobia doesn't even seem to annoy you. You find a post wherin libertas calls a trans women a violent aggressive man with a fetish to be funny enough to be a reason you cite that he "shouldn't be banned".

In the US, maybe. Can't speak for the North.
