Incumbent for 26 years spews ha
As it should be. She's just another human being, doing her thing.I heard Roem on the radio a while back. She (honestly does seem a bit weird calling a dude a she, but whatever) did not even bring up being trans until asked about it. Just talked about schools, business, districting, etc. Roem knows her shit, and frankly didn't seem that interested in transgender issues from what I heard.
Yes, but people hear "first trans blah blah ..." and immediately jump to the conclusion that the candidate ran on that social issue. When really they were just likable and knowledgeable. The whole time I thought he (the interviewer) was just talking to a really smart, articulate, and well-informed woman. Had no idea she was a he until about 75% of the way through when the interviewer brought it up, and she was kinda like "yeah, well ... back to the important stuff please."
