Danica Roem becomes Virginia’s first openly transgender state senator
thehill.com
Virginia Democrat Danica Roem was projected to win her election Tuesday, according to Decision Desk HQ, becoming the commonwealth’s first openly transgender state senator and the first out transgender person elected to a state Senate anywhere in the South.
Roem, 39, defeated former Fairfax County police detective Bill Woolf, a conservative Republican endorsed by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), who vowed to bar transgender athletes from competing on school sports teams if elected.
“You attack trans kids in my district at your own political peril,” Roem told The Hill in a recent interview.

I'm from Virginia! Great win against the fundsmetalist governor.
Still trying to figure out who got pornhub banned in our state but for now I'm glad we made good history this time.
I thought there was a supreme court ruling in another state that made that Unconstitutional.
