Is That a Ballot in Your Pocket…? March 2, 2024

In the ever-expanding effort to balkanize America, we now have gender-specific voting sites:
The first-ever transgender voting center is opening its doors on Saturday for the California primary election, according to CBS News.
The Connie Norman Transgender Empowerment Center in Los Angeles County will be available to voters from March 2 to March 5 and while it is open to all Californians, the center is mainly focusing on creating a safe environment for the LGBTQ community to vote in, CBS News reported. Democratic Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis visited the center Thursday and touted it as a “significant milestone” for LGBTQ Americans, according to KFI, a local media outlet.
Hadn’t heard that voting was a particularly dangerous endeavor for the LGBTQ community, but I’m OK with the concept, so long as they open similar centers for cis-types as well. A place we can also feel safe and at home.
Like, installing voting booths at Hooters’ locations, for example.
…although that might corrupt me into trying to vote multiple times.
Innocent Bystanders 
The website says the center is named after “Connie Norman, AIDS Diva.” I dunno, Babs…
You’re very brave – I didn’t dare click on that link.
The problem with all trans sites and news stories is that they feel compelled to show pictures of trans people. And while I understand that there are some people who can “pass,” those aren’t the pictures they show. The ones I’ve seen never make it across the Uncanny Valley.
