When the new Delegate-elect Danica Roem goes to the House of Delegates she intends to work with the Democrat caucus for the passage of laws for people who think they were born in the wrong body. She wants all insurance companies to be forced to pay for hormone treatment, genital mutilation surgery, and whatever else these disturbed people think they need to cure their mental health problems.
Those mental problems have convinced these sad people that the problems they have in their minds can be cured by changing their body. Changing the outside doesn’t fix the inside. Roem should be asking insurance companies to pay for mental health treatment for these unfortunate souls, and not genital mutilation.
From the Washington Post:
“LGBTQ health care is health care,” Roem, who will be the first transgender elected official in Virginia, said Friday during a conference call with reporters. “It is not cosmetic. It is not elective. We are following our doctors’ orders.”
Seriously? Doctors order people to have surgery to alter their bodies forever? The first rule of physicians is “Do no harm.” I do not believe any doctor is telling a patient they MUST have breast augmentation and genital mutilation. No physician would write such an order.
While Republicans in the House of Delegates want to focus on improving the economy of Virginia, roads, and schools, this ‘woman’ wants to focus on having the rest of us pay for her gender mutilation surgery. How sad for those people in the 13th district who have real problems that have nothing to do with Dan Roem wanting to become Danica Roem. It appears their problems will not be the focus of their delegate.

Working on giving away the next election, too? Seventy+ comments of support for hatred is a good down payment on the next electoral give away. Follow Sideshow Bob to the next tent, eh, where the show must go on!
Mr. Tucker gets what the rest of you do not.
Um, how did you get that she’s not going to focus on real problems from this story? The story says in the SECOND paragraph that her main focus will be traffic and continues to focus on traffic.
Again, this gives the impression that the Bull Elephant means complete falsehoods that claim to be from the right. This is why the Republican Party is bleeding supporters: people are tired of being lied to.
We can only hope that Roy Moore is the first to get it.
… OH you mean the ‘genital mutilation’ PENILE IMPLANTS for impotence, CIRCUMCISION, etc?
They attack Moore for something that may have happened 4 decades ago and yet applaud the real perversion that is right in front of their faces. Crazy world.
I see how this works: http://www.wtsp.com/news/transracial-man-born-white-feels-like-he-is-filipino/491290902
If Danica can decide to be a woman, and this Caucasian male can decide he’s now a filipino, I have decided that I am the delegate-elect, replacing Bob Marshall. I know, I know, “But Fist, you don’t live in that district. Your name didn’t appear on the ballot, and no one cast a single vote for you”. Doesn’t matter. I have decided to identify as the delegate-elect. I’m elected-official-fluid, and everyone is just going to have to accept it. Please begin addressing me as “Delegate-Elect Rockbone”.
#ImWithFist
You’re an idiot.
I don’t identify as an idiot. I identify as the delegate-elect. You must address me as such to maintain my fantasy world, or you are a horrible person.
Yeah, that’s not even close to the same thing. The fact that you choose not to see it means that you do identify as an idiot.
Is that kinda like Danica Roem choosing not to see that “she” is actually a “he”? Does that make “her” an “idiot” or just mentally-ill?
Neither. She is a female, period.
Danica Roem has a period? How’s that possible? Did you fail basic biology in middle-school? And you call me an idiot?
Did I say she has a period? No, I didn’t. This is one of several reasons why I call you an idiot.
I call you an idiot, because you address someone with a penis as “she”.
Which makes zero sense. Having a penis does not necessarily make someone a he.
It does in the world of reality. You seem to be arguing that things like DNA or genitalia are superfluous in matters of Sex and Gender. I do not deny Danica Roem the humanity everyone is due. I just refuse to ignore reality, science, nature, and a whole host of evidence that Danica Roem is NOT a woman, regardless of how Danica “feels”. Sort of like your claims of being a “conservative”, and yet your historical commentary, in as much as can be discerned from what you’ve posted on this and other threads, do not align with your self-perceptions. I know…”I can’t define you, or judge you”. I’m not making a subjective moral judgement on you, or Danica. I am making an objective observation, based on all available evidence. Danica, the delegate-elect, will never be an adult female human, AKA a woman. Danica will forever be a pitiable adult human male, as laid down in his immutable DNA. His choice to live as a gay man in a dress, that’s up to him, and I won’t make a moral judgement on that. If he chooses to go through a horrid procedure to have his external genitalia removed, take female hormones, grow his hair, and all of the other things he can do to resemble that which he covets, to “live as a woman” that is his choice too. If people, myself included, refuse to accept that regardless of anything Danica Roem chooses to do to himself, he will never be an adult human female, or a Woman…that’s our rational choice.
She is already a human female. Your choice is completely irrational and wrong. Further, you have no idea what my positions are, because all we’ve discussed is Danica Roem’s gender. That’s not a liberal or conservative viewpoint.
Here’s whe while re we put the cards on the table, “ElectricFire”:
“ElectricFire Timmy 20 days ago
No, I’m a conservative who isn’t a bigot.”
I could post many claims of being a conservative, made by you. You make this claim, without any supporting argument. Same holds for Danica Roem. You claim Danica is “already a human female” which is a biological impossibility, unless of course Danica spent the entirety of time spent as “Dan” while possessing female genitalia and DNA.
It is you, and others like you who are irrational. It is you, and others like you, who ignore reality and science. It is you, and others like you, who believe that The Bull Elephant is some “safe space” where you won’t get called out for hypocritical claims made elsewhere.
I could go back through a perusing of your multitudinous postings on various threads, to cut and paste an indictment of your claims to be a “conservative, who’s not a bigot”, but why waste the time?
I’ll just call you a fraud. Diehard support of Danica Roem is a clear sign that you are either Danica Roem, or a close confident of Danica Roem. You are no conservative. Bob Marshall was a true conservative. Bob was a bit to the right of my views, and I both claim the title, and challenge you “ElectricFire” to find one post that would call this position into question.
Look, I hope Danica goes down to Richmond and tries his level best to be the servant of the people he was elected to be. Not for Danica, but for the people who elected him. However, Danica strikes me as someone who cannot resist the siren song of popularity, and had led a tragic life seeking acceptance. Why else would Danica accept the invitation of a pop star to the AMA awards?
Had Dan Roem, local journalist, gay man, chosen to run for office and make this about issues he could actually fix (instead of the fraud of fixing rt 28), I wouldn’t be commenting on this. I have no issues with gays living their lives as gays, in civil contracts (marriage) with other gays. I am a conservative-libertarian.
What I object to, is lying to the voters. Say what you want about “sideshow Bob “, you can’t honestly say he ever lied about anything. As a matter of fact, he was honest to a fault. I’m not some bumbling idiot (you arguments to the contrary) who doesn’t know how local government works with state government. I know how transportation projects get funded. I know that what Danica Roem ran on, can’t be delivered on.
Everything about Danica Roem’s candidacy was a fraud. “It’s not about being transgender”. Why did some obscure race in Northern Virginia receive massive amounts of out-of-state funding by “progressives”? It was about 2 things: Democrat hatred of Trump (which blows away anything marshaled by the right against Obama), and what is or is not between Danica Roem’s legs. It was about “fixing rt 28”. Danica can’t do it. Danica won’t do it. And in 2 years when Danica has to answer for this, Danica will resort to “it’s because no one wants to work with me, because I am a gay man pretending to be a woman”
Here’s the deal: I am a conservative. You are not. Danica Roem is not an adult human female. Danica Roem cannot fulfill the promises Danica Roem made during the election. Saying so, doesn’t make it so. Danica Roem won’t fix 28, and Danica Roem isn’t a woman. You cannot browbeat the truth….and the truth is, you “ElectricFire” are no conservative.
And again, you have no way to know that. We’ve not had any discussion on taxes, on trade, on the military, any of that. You have no idea what my positions are on those issues. You’re simply assuming I’m not a conservative because I know that Danica Roem is a female and because I think she would make a better representative than Bob Marshall, who cares more about keeping men in women’s bathrooms than he does about getting anything done.
And yes, I can say Bob Marshall lied. He lied in his lame excuse for an excuse to duck out of a debate with Danica Roem by claiming she attacked him personally, when in reality he spent the entire campaign attacking her and she never once attacked him on anything besides the issues. His entire campaign was full of lies.
Nothing about Danica Roem’s candidacy was fraudulent. She doesn’t give a damn about popularity; if she did, she wouldn’t have picked journalism as her career. She cares about solutions. She will fix Route 28, and she knows that if she doesn’t, she won’t have the office any longer.
You can call me a fraud all you want, but the reality is that you don’t know me and you don’t know Danica Roem. You’ve also proven that you don’t know a thing about this race or the reality surrounding it.
I beg to differ. It is you who has left a trail of liberal comments on many threads, and I have read several. You do know that there is a capability within this platform to review comments made by users, don’t you?
No conservative would support Danica Roem with the zeal you have demonstrated. You are like the husband who claims to love his wife and kids, even as he beats and neglects them. His claims fail when his actions are examined.
It is you who has a problem with reality, addressing Danica as “she”.
I do know why Danica was elected. Same reason why so many long-serving GOP delegates lost their races. Democrats were angry at Trump and wanted to “send a message”, and really couldn’t care less who they were voting for, as long as they had a “D” next to their names. Same reason why the 50th elected an avowed socialist. The LGBQTMOUSE lobby wanted to see “one of their own” elected, and money poured in from out-of-state.
I do hope you are right about one thing, though. I hope when Danica Roem fails to fix Rt 28, or has even made any demonstrable progress toward this promise, Danica is voted out and goes back to journalism and making tasteless music videos.
Yes, I’m well aware you can see every comment I’ve made, and I know you won’t find a single liberal one, because there hasn’t been one. A conservative supporting Danica Roem over Bob Marshall is a relatively easy choice, as Bob Marshall is so focused on bigotry that he doesn’t have time to work on solutions that benefit his district or conservatives. The Republican Party is only useful as a vehicle for conservatism. If it’s not, then there’s no point in supporting Republicans.
Being a conservative does not mean that you support everyone with an R. I support the person, not the party. Danica Roem is the kind of legislator we need more of, regardless of where she falls on the spectrum, while Bob Marshall represents partisan nonsense above solutions.
And no, the reason she was elected is that Bob Marshall has failed to address the concerns of his district. Mindsets like yours are why the Republicans keep losing. Case in point, look at Loudoun County: Ed Gillespie did great there in 2014 and bombed there in 2017. What changed? Republicans became disgusted with Trump and the party’s direction and opened themselves up to another solution. As long as you act like it was as simple as people voting D, Republicans are going to keep losing.
Somatoparaphrenia is a monothematic delusion where a person as convinced themselves that they are missing a limb, despite being shown proof that they do in fact have the limb, Xenomelia is a paraphilia where individuals suffer an overwhelming desire to have a perfectly healthy limb amputated. Both of these conditions are considered profound mental disorders, and yet we rational people are told that a biological male, possessing normal XY chromosomes, can decide that they are not a male, and that external genitalia that developed during puberty doesn’t belong there, and by simply removing or altering it, the fundamental truth of the biological blueprint is somehow changed too?
Wait….you mean Danica’s claims of running to “fix Rt 28” and that his mental illness wasn’t going to be an issue was all a sham, and now we see what his true agenda is? I am SHOCKED….SHOCKED I SAY! Danica, who can never be that which he covets, will try to legislate the normalization of his fantasy. He will work to bring the power of the state to bear on those who refuse to indulge him in this nonsense.
I heard that route 28 ad promise..As someone who works for VDOT on road and bridge projects, Roam proved that she knows nothing at all about road and bridge projects.
Exactly. Roem’s election also proved that the citizenry doesn’t know a thing about roads and bridges either. If they did, they’d know that it is totally up to the PWC BOCS, Manassas Park City Council, and Manassas City Council to put improvement projects into their respective CIP’s, and only then can the delegates do anything to help secure state funds. What they also don’t realize is when you wipe out a bunch of senior delegates, your new delegates are relegated to the back-bench with regard to committee assignments and the like. Roem can’t do a damned thing to “fix rt 28”.
With the expansion of lanes to the Fauquier line, Route 28 is about as “fixed” as it’s going to get, no thanks to Dan Roem.
I couldn’t have said it better Fist.
Mutiliation – sounds like you are once again afraid of people different from yourself. Time to adult up and accept that you are not the perfect example of a human being – there are other ways of being a person
The destruction of any society begins with perversion, essentially an abandonment of the standards of civilized behavior. Rome went the way of the world and Western Europe is quickly trying to emulate Rome. We do not need to echo their stupidity.
civilized behavior? Funny to see that word in print, especially from you, with so many uncivilized comments being posted
I once worked with a transgender, um, er, ah, “person”. What he/she said was that in trying to become a woman she/he had the transgender surgery. Sorry to have to say, he/she was one really ugly woman (a male from birth, i am not handsome by any means yet this person was, sadly, just pathetic looking). Anyway, this person shared with me that she/he had gone through the surgery and then was in intensive care for weeks thereafter. I’ve read up on this stuff and they just about have to “gut the transgender person crotch to eyeball”, so to speak, that is, it is very intensive surgery involving a lot of dissection and sewing and so forth. Apparently this person darn near died as the result of all that surgery. I did not get into who paid for it but the person said that it was very, very expensive. I have also, since then, read about how a lot of transgender people, after the surgery, are still not happy with the results. Apparently they thought that they’d be a gorgeous woman that all the guys or lesbians would want but few if any do want them. Apparently the suicide rate is high for them. It just seems to me that instead of letting the medical profession “play God and play Dr. Frankenstein” and the transgender people still be unhappy, it would be better to ban transgender surgery, give the transgender person psychiatric care and, if they want to do so, cross dress but stop all this dangerous surgery. It would be even better to say “you cannot change your gender and you remain the gender of your birth no matter what your mind tells you.”
its a good thing that your opinion of others matters not at all
Not to you, sd, but it will matter to the various legislators and others to whom I will be expressing my “opinion”.
As I’ve said, you can’t fix an internal problem by changing the external parts of the person.
Ms. Martin, Ma’am. was so glad to learn that there is at least one person who is not a flaming liberal up in your area of Virginia. Please keep up the good work and thank you for doing it.
It won’t pass, even some Democrats will vote no.
I don’t know. Democrats generally put party before principle.
They also will have to run for re-election in years when they won’t have a wave to their back.
Just like the Obamacare representatives. Our fellow travelers have no problem with sacrifices, for the movement.
Don’t bet on it, power requires discipline.
Yes it will pass because Democrats and Republicans will accused of being anti-LGBT if they don’t. Politicians are cowed by that. So to speak.
What’s really going to be sad is when the people in the 13th district who just vote along party lines, and didn’t do thier homework find out they voted in a mentally ill guy in a dress.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a256026e8d70899fae5b92108ccff05787def1ec8ced36b9c5b84be4971f5b95.jpg If only there was a political party that could/would take seriously its job of educating the electorate…. but instead we get:
EWWW! GAG! I dunno, maybe VMI somehow warped Northam! LOL! ;>
Except they didn’t vote along party lines, they voted for a genuinely informed pragmatist woman who they’ve known and trusted for years.
If you truly believe the voters in the 13th district “voted for a genuinely informed pragmatist WOMAN who they’ve known and trusted for years”, then you and I live in two seperate and different worlds. I suspect you are not a conservative. I also suspect (or at least hope) you (and 13th district voters) haven’t seen the video of Dan Roem wiping his mouth off after following a guy out of a bathroom who just pulled his zipper up while smiling.
I’m a lifelong conservative, actually. And yes, I’ve seen the video. It’s part of a music video from years ago and has nothing to do with anything.
Sorry, but Danica Roem won this race because voters know who she is and what she’s about from her time as a journalist. The fact that she is a transgender woman did not factor into their votes.
Let them visit Clarke County. We can show them how quickly we can turn a Bull into a Steer.
But can you turn a bull into a cow?
Exactly!
But you could dress it up as a pig
These poor souls will never be another gender. They can be made to be steers, but never cows. Even if you dress them up!
First, we need to take back the language. Sex is Male and Female. Gender is Masculine, Feminine, and Neutral. “Woman” is not a gender.
Doesn’t matter. People understand.
Cispeople or people?
So the clown show is beginning. We will see all kinds of nutty left wing SJW legislation proposed in the coming session.
Sadly true and it will get worse when Democrats find a way to take over the HOD and the Senate.
The current way of Republicans unilaterally capitulating will work fine.
But wait, I’ll bet RPV will have a tweet or FB post that will put Dan the Man and Dems on notice.
You never fail to amuse!
Funny because it’s true!!!
Sternly worded as well, I should imagine.
And perhaps an excuse videotape and an apology tour blaming Republicans.
Yeah, well that videotape would be the first time you heard from the RPV in a year.
I think you mean when trump gives the democrats the hod and senate.
That was low Republican turnout that caused this debacle, uninspired by Gillespie, who trailed behind in 3rd place behind his two running mates.
Voter turnout overall was very high for a non presidential year. Wonder why?
Because Republican Candidates and Party did not get their votes to market?
But if we say it was Trump, then we can claim it was not our fault.
Dems were mad, mad, mad as were the never Trumpers. Anger fuels people.
You’d think that bringing in a Bush to campaign would send a message that… oh wait, nevermind.
It wasn’t about Gillespie. It was all about the man downtown.
Clearly, and which of the candidates that won were those that attended the rallies, spoke on behalf of, and campaigned for that man downtown?
Obviously had a lot to do with Trump, what is your argument again?
I try not to argue, I’m too agreeable and loved for that.
I’m just wondering which of our delegate candidates attended Trump Rallies, or spoke on behalf at the rallies, or campaigned for the President?
Or Governor, Lt. Governor, or Atty General
Well, if that’s the case then we should all close our wallets, stay home and let the Democrats run unopposed until Trump’s term expires. This Trump blaming is rather tiresome. Let’s ignore the fact Gillespie sucked as a candidate… twice.
Blaming/Hating President Trump is a unique conjunction of Conservatives behaving as they attribute to GOPe establishmentarians; those very establishmentarians; the undocumented Republicans who only participate to select nominees; and the dem/left/media. Truly bipartisan.
Kind of makes it clear why the Silent Majority is fed up with politics, politicians, and those that facilitate/enable them.
Team Gillespie and our gullible party thought that the voters stupidly equated ‘statewide’ with ‘Almost’ Ed.
I think the voters almost preferred to put a lobbyist in Washington as their shark to stave off special interests last cycle to one in Richmond who highlighted his ‘connections’ throughout the campaign.
That isn’t a fact. He was an excellent candidate in 2014. Then he tried to be Trump and deservedly lost.
