@W person cow, I would LOVE your reaction to this chain of events. According to you, there's nothing to indicate she's trans and only we believe that. What do you think got the writer of this article confused, if you had to guess?
I never said she wasn't trans. Only that I don't know if she is, and it's kinda rude to ask.
I guessed at first she wasn't, but now who knows? Either way not my business especially now. Ungentlemanly to ask.
I feel bad for people being outed as trans. But on the other hand, she "warned" me about 1000 times that if I work in politics, every aspect of my personal life will be picked apart. So that's kinda extremely hypocritical of her...

A pretty hilarious aspect of the campaign was when I informed her that you have to put your address on all the ballot forms, and it gets posted publicly.
She was like "but then Gamergaters will know where I live!"
I was like yeah and so will the VOTERS, your CONSTITUENTS! They can contact Stephen Lynch any time they want, and if you're going to REPRESENT them, they need to be able to CONTACT you!
She was like okay, fine.
I was like it better be fine cause it's the LAW and otherwise you won't get on the BALLOT.
Then I said "speaking of which, you always say Stephen Lynch is not accessible. I think you should put your phone number on your campaign flyers like Sam Hammar does."
B: "Warren that's crazy. I already get 100 prank calls a day from Gamer Gate people."
W: "I thought you said that died down after you moved."
B: "Well I guess so. But I don't want it to come BACK!"
W: "Then why are you RUNNING FOR OFFICE?"
B: "Elizabeth Warren complained about this same problem. People are more critical of women candidates and they harass you, and she said it made her withdraw."
W: "Yeah but then she got that speech coach Joel and now 2 years later she's one of the most friendly accessible politicians in this state."
B: "What should I do? I need to be accessible. I know what I could do! I could have 'office hours' once a week where I answer anybody's questions for an hour a week!"
W: "An HOUR a WEEK? Um...."
B: "Let's return to this topic"
W: "Ok."
(we never returned to the topic)
