Only In SF: Theresa Sparks, Transgender Former Sex Toy Exec, 'Conservative' Candidate

​"Only in San Francisco" is a phrase all too often employed to belittle our city's good intentions as it establishes bond financing to pave the road to hell. And yet, sometimes, you've just got to take a step back, look at what's going on here, and shake your head:

Theresa Sparks, a transgender woman who used to run a sex toy company, has been depicted as the "conservative," "establishment" candidate for District 6 supervisor. With the possible exception of Holland, that's truly an "only in San Francisco" moment.

"My son lives in Kansas," said Sparks. "When he heard I'm considered 'moderate,' or 'conservative,' he said 'In Kansas, you'd probably be lynched."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
