It would be interesting to know the ratio of men to women that voted for Lily in this election. I also doubt that enough voters would cast their vote out of humour to make any impact. You're not really giving credit to people's ability to make an informed decision, what do we know about Lily's qualifications? What do we know about her competence within the role? Aren't these important factors?
Also Vicky i totally get your opinions on pronoun usage etc when it comes to trans people but the thread title does make this discussion really confusing, a lot of people won't read all the posts and links etc.

We know that he thinks biology is irrelevant tbh. We also know he counts male people as women given his emphasis on 'transwomen'. Thats enough to say he is not qualified for the role. Its like appointing someone into a position about gay rights, and them immediately saying that sexuality is irrelevant and straight people have problems too. Its nonsense.
I dont see how me referring to this person as he makes the thread confusing? I said in the title this is a male person. He is a male person.
