"I am the first transsexual member of the caucus, and I hope many more will follow," said Loveless in an e-mail to her supporters. "The caucus's new membership policy is far from perfect, and I am working to improve it further. But a critical change has been accomplished - the caucus no longer defines gender merely on the basis of one's birth genitalia."

Loveless, who was born Tom Ness, has been a member of the Green Party for decades, and even ran for Congress on the party's ticket in 2000.
