Dollars, data support record number of transgender U.S. election candidates

Chandler is among an estimated 40 transgender candidates running for all levels of government in the November 2018 elections, an unprecedented number.

Social conservatives say LGBT advocates may be overplaying their hand, calling them out of touch with heartland voters and suggesting transgender campaigning may backfire in districts where Trump has strong support.

“I don’t think the transgender issue is going to be a winning issue for the Democrats or those on the left,” said Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian and lobbying group.

However, Republicans easily won three other state house seats in Missouri on Tuesday and still have a super majority, the ability to override a governor’s veto - in the chamber.

Well, a lot of people.

But this topic is about the November 2018 Elections, not specifically transgenders. The article above was just the first I've seen concerning the coming elections.

I think the main reason there are so many transgenders running, is that there are a serious amount of pissed off LBGT w/e people with votes to cast.
Both parties are taking w/e votes they can get this year.

Science is a lot better regarding treatments and now normal people who feel thst was are empowered to transition or whatever. The more normalized it is the more you will actually see them and interact with them in everyday life. You might already and not know.

There aren't many trans-friendly professions. Social work is one of them though, and politician seems like a step forward from there.

Plus there is kind of a flavor of the month thing happening. Yes there will be backlash by the WASP patriarchs who wish to regulate gender through state to keep two or whatever. Yes we are likely to the point of excess here. That is why we are seeing this replay of Nixon, Reagan and Bush with Trump.

I think they were inspired by the election of Danica Roem as the first trans state legislator. Prior to this most trans people probably thought there was no chance of a transgender person winning an election. Now Roem has done it it's given those interested the kick they needed to give it a go.

The main reason there are so many transgenders running is the democrats are hyper focused on identity politics and virtue signaling.
Pissed off bbqs aren't that significant of a percentage of the population. Blacks/disabled/trans/gays get pushed to the front of the line and are promoted based on identity(as long as they are far-left, if not they are branded race traitors), with not so subtle accusations that any opposition is racist/sexist/bigoted etc.
