i have just come across a extremly troubleing event

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.
