Vote for the label
Vermont governor's race: Christine Hallquist, Phil Scott win primaries
““Vermont Democrats made history Tuesday by nominating Christine Hallquist as the first transgender individual to be a major party candidate for governor.””
— April McCullum
That's the first paragraph.
According to the article the transgender label is more important than the candidates qualifications. The label is more important that the candidate's character. The label is more important than anything you might consider.
This is the inevitable result of identify politics. The label must transcend all other reasons.
Sadly, this is the result of party politics too.
Politics is about controlling other people. You must not be allowed to make up your own mind. You might do it wrong.
