I know very little about the politics of Sandra Dunn, the 53-year-old trans woman running for mayor of Amarillo, the north Texas town that has its own airport. But I do know that her candidacy means there’s a challenger to David Grisham, the so-called pastor who fronted a group called Repent Amarillo, which called for a boycott of Houston because it elected mayor a lesbian, Annise Parker. The group calls itself an “army of god,” and successfully forced a swingers club to close, all because its members were going to hell, believed Grisham and his followers. So what does Grisham think about Dunn running for office? “The more people that run, the better. I’m not sure that’s who you want as mayor. If they’re indecisive about who they are, are they indecisive about other issues?”

Indecisive about who she is? I think not. In fact I think trans-people spend more time than anyone focusing an awareness on their identity. I truly admire a man who can spew bullshit and ignorance in an age of unprecedented science and medical understanding, and when called out for it will hide behind an outdated book as a defense strategy. By all means let the bible do the talking for you, everyone else will use actual rational thinking and evidence and you will look like a dumb-ass every time đ Onward christian soldier đ

This Reverend needs to check himself. @rhen I completely agree. Trans folks are much more self determinant in terms of their identity than your average cis person. I would say that Ms. Dunn is extremely decisive about her identity. She decided to change her body to reflect her identity.
