Danica Roem has just become the first out trans person to win election as a US state rep, defeating a strongly anti-LGBT incumbent. Meanwhile, Andrea Jenkins became the first out trans woman of color elected to public office.

I voted for Roem, but I never knew she was trans. Wouldn't have mattered. Good for her!

Great news for Virginia, the Democratic Party, LGBT people, and the country in general. Here in southern WV and southwestern Va. the rednecks are all upset about it.
