    Who cares about gender so long you can do your work properly.

    We need more people like this in politics. People who know the fear of prejudice and discrimination.

    Yeah that's a woman, EXACTLY like me, no difference at all......🤨 Well except for the penis, the XY chromosomes and that terrible wig. You cannot change your sex, identify and dress how you like but that does not make you female.

    Her policies, and who she represents, are the important things.
