Something tells me she'll struggle to win votes from the anti-trans GOP voters who think she's just a man who wants access to women's restrooms for perverted reasons.


So much for me running for governor of Texas with the slogan “I’m gonna take your guns and shut down your churches”

I hope she gets in. It's about time that America has a transgender leader.


It won't be transphobic conservatives who elect a transperson to a position of power first.

If she talks a lot about Jesus then she might well have a fighting chance.

Religion trumps transgenderness in the minds of American voters.

All except for the ones most motivated by religious talk are also often the ones most hostile towards transpeople and trans rights.

why vote for somebody who's in it just for themselves?

Because otherwise the more disagreeable as*hole who's also just in it for themselves is more likely to win. :nerdy:

Another weird question hit me.

If Caitlyn dressed up as Bruce and Ru Paul ran against her could you call that a drag-race?

(context - if someone like Blaire White ran as a Republican for congress somewhere I wouldn't think twice, but we're talking Kardashians here...)

Religion is the whole reason they vote GOP. Half of all registered Republicans believe the Dems will legalize pedophilia.

But you know what's worse than a pedophile? A BIGOT!! !

I don't think my second cousin, who was raped by her dirt bag father, would agree.

She is considering running for governor of one particular state. Not for president.
