"Two trans women have lost their bids to be the first out trans people to win a seat in Congress.
There are currently no openly transgender people in the federal legislature, and just a handful of out LGB representatives.

As the country went to the polls this week, two Democrats – coincidentally both named Misty – were both hoping to break the barrier for trans representatives for the first time."
