Carperdyne Model T1000, otherwise known to us mere Democrats as Mat “Only One T” Marshall, recently highlighted a New Statesmen article in a Facebook post regarding the future of transgender politics, saying simply (yet deviously) that Sarah McBride “won’t share this because she knows it doesn’t stack up to my Delaware Liberal coverage, but I’m happy to take the high road.”
“Lesbian and gay politics advanced on the shoulders of courageous trailblazers like Harvey Milk, Barney Frank, and Chris Smith. Georgina Beyer allowed trans people to dream big dreams when she was elected the first transgender national parliamentarian in New Zealand in 1999. Who will be the first out transgender person elected to high office in America and Britain? Sarah McBride has all the right credentials in the United States—former student body president at American University, staffer for Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, White House intern, campaign director at the Center for American Progress.“
Emphasis mine. Surely this is some sort of evil plot by Emperor Palpatine… er ah, I mean Senator Carper to cloak himself in Sarah’s accomplishments and glory. Nevermind that Sarah and Mat[t] have been friends since high school.
* This post is half parody, especially the stuff about Mat[t] Marshall. Everything about Sarah McBride is real and inspiring, made more so by how humble she is. Congrats Sarah.
