The Real Candidate of Change: Transgender GOP'er

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Chrissy Nakonsky is running for the Minnesota Legislature as an anti-tax Republican. Nakonsky, who is married with three kids, told The Star Tribune, "Republicans swear by not raising taxes, and raising taxes would hurt families in poverty, like mine."

Her choice of political party would not be surprising, except for the fact that until recently, Chrissy was known as Jeff and worked as a local cashier. And we all know Republicans aren't known for supporting LGBT anything. Read more about Nakonsky here

In my hometown in VT, we have a similar thing going on.  Right wing republican trans guy/gal who runs for office.  Think Meatloaf in Fight Club with long gray witch's hair.

Low taxes help people in poverty?  This person is a dolt (which has nothing to do with being transgendered).
