It's Maryland -- of course we have a transgender convicted traitor running for the U.S. Senate

Naturally, Maryland would be the place that a mentally ill, convicted traitor who cannot seem to understand that X-Y don't lie would run for a seat in the U.S. Senate. Not that he has a snowball's chance of hell of winning, even in the People's Republic of Maryland. He is running against Ben Cardin, who has a ton of money and a corrupt machine backing him and cannot lose no matter how much the batshit crazy left base in Maryland likes the idea of sending a seriously confused, mentally disturbed traitor to the U.S. Senate:

Chelsea E. Manning, the transgender former Army private who was convicted of passing sensitive government documents to WikiLeaks, is seeking to run for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, according to federal election filings.
Manning would be challenging Democrat Benjamin L. Cardin, who is in his second term in the Senate and is up for reelection in November. Cardin is Maryland’s senior senator and is considered an overwhelming favorite to win a third term.
Manning declined to speak about her filing or to say why she might be running when reached at her home in Bethesda on Saturday.

Chelsea, a man who changed his name from Bradley and now pretends to be a woman -- and who, at last report, still sports more traditional male genitalia -- is best known for leaking an enormous amount of classified documents to Wikileaks, including information on U.S. undercover agents around the world that undoubtedly got lots of agents or at least informants killed. He was convicted in 2013 and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Emperor Barry I commuted Manning's sentence as he left office, so the traitor served only about 4 years out of the sentence. Now he's running for the U.S. Senate in the state I unfortunately live in.

Alas, I live in one of only about a half-dozen states in the country where this nutbag could be taken even half-seriously. I rate his chances at zero, but I am quite sure that the media will consistently refer to this mentally ill, dick-toting traitor as "she" throughout his short campaign.

Whose public restroom does the law say this person gets to use?

There is a lot of backlash going on against states, primarily in the American South, passing laws that, among other things, require people to use the public restrooms that correspond to the gender the person was born as. Basically, you have an X and a Y chromosome, you use the men's room, and the law don't give a shit whether you think you're Marilyn Monroe. XX chromosomes? Women's room for you, no matter how much you dress like James Dean.

This makes sense to me. Without commenting on the validity of how the laws are written -- I haven't read any of them, and some or all may be too broad -- I fail to see how it can be controversial to require men to use the men's room, regardless of what they call themselves, and women to use the women's room, regardless of what they call themselves. I can call myself a fucking unicorn, and that doesn't make me one, no matter what surgery I have, nor does it require the state or anyone else to provide unicorn restrooms for me.

Crazy example? Maybe not. Consider this:

A male-to-female transgender woman who prefers the pronoun “it” says it believes it was born not only the wrong sex, but also the wrong species, and has been undergoing human-to-dragon transition procedures to fix the problem. The 55-year-old, who was born “Richard Hernandez” but now goes by “Eva Tiamat Baphomet Medusa,” has already had a whole slew of transformative work done: Tooth extraction, eye coloring, horn implants, ear removal (!), nose modification and a procedure to give it a forked tongue.

The individual in question is "pre-op," meaning he still has male genitalia. He cannot, of course, get rid of his Y chromosome and so will always be male regardless of what he chops off. You want this guy in the women's restroom? Fuck, I don't want him in the men's restroom. Wonder why?:

Yeah, no thanks.
