HISTORY: Sarah McBride Becomes First Transgender State Senator !
Sarah McBride became the highest-ranking openly transgender state legislator in the United States tonight after winning an election in Delaware to become a state senator.
Human Rights Campaign (HRC)-endorsed candidate and HRC National Press Secretary Sarah McBride overwhelmingly won her election to serve as state senator from Delaware’s First Senatorial District.
Miss McBride will become the first openly transgender person to serve in the upper chamber of a state legislature in U.S. history.
Other openly transgender elected officials include Virginia state Delegate Danica Roem (D-Va.), Colorado state Rep. Brianna Titone, and New Hampshire state Reps. Lisa Bunker and Gerri Cannon.
The news comes after Trump spent the past four years pursuing policies that would erode the rights of trans people.
Shortly after taking office, Shithole sought to roll back a memo protecting trans students in schools.
He has also banned trans people from serving in the military and ruled that in the majority of cases, trans prisoners should be assigned housing based on their assigned sex at birth.
Congratulations!
