I didnt know he was elected actually. But even so, he should not be up for the position to start with. IMO

I disagree that men are far more accepting about transpeople than women, and to the extend that womens voices in this election wouldn't have been heard. I don't actually know any stats on that tbh so I'm open to being proved wrong, but just from personal experience and people I've known I've found women to be generally more accepting of trans people than men. 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.
