I just read about a transexual politician Michelle Bruce that won a seat is now being seud by the looser because she ran as a woman. They say because she ran as a woman fraudulenty, that gave her an unfair advantage.
Its extremely troubling because if a transexual in transition cant run as her identied gender, that would shut out transexuals from any public office. That is what these people are trying to do. its bigotry at its highest level on the same as the third reich and jews. whats next, they cant go to school, vote, hold any jobs.
I live in the US and im a transexual and starting to wonder just how safe i am living in the US.
i have just come across a extremly troubleing event

It's Called Politics
Politics is not pretty, but it's no reason to wonder about your safety in the United States. The fact that a TS won an open, fair election is a great things, not a troubling thing when the loser yells "foul."

yeah
She stated her constitutants knew she was a transexual and voted for her. So there doesnt seem to be fraud going on.
But the truth rarely matters in court. what if They win
Silly Suit
If it was so easy to win fraud suits, we wouldn't have 5.8 ounce toothpaste tubes being sold in the same sized box as for the "old" 6.5 ounce one, and labelled "New!" The advertiser, should the case ever go to court, simply says, "We wanted a new, easier-to-lift tube, which we thought the consumer would like." Case closed. Any reasonable, or even theoretically plausible explanation suffices as a defense against fraud.
I wouldn't worry about that lawsuit too much. If there is any justice in the world, the plaintiff will end up looking remarkably silly, not to mention a sore loser, plus have to pay court costs and attorney fees for both sides.
Of course, for every justice recorded, there is some group of morons who will protest it, but like they say, you can't have everything.
Fraud U Say?
To prove fraud you must prove intent, which is extremely difficult.
