At a recent forum for the Republican candidates for Secretary of State, a defiant Rep. Paul Scott refused to back down from his unusual strategy of targeting transgendered people and refusing to allow them to change the gender designation on their driver's licenses.

As the Messenger previously reported, Rep. Scott entered the race for the Secretary of State job by declaring that he would "make it a priority to ensure transgender individuals will not be allowed to change the sex on their driver's license in any circumstance." Asked what problem this was intended to solve, he told the Messenger that it was all about "preventing people who are males genetically from dressing as a woman and going into female bathrooms."

This part was precious:

QuoteAn agitated Scott had little to say about the reality of unclear gender for such people and others with similar kinds of transgender traits, declaring that "whatever you're designated as when you're born is what the government should recognize you as — no ambiguity there whatsoever."

(and then his head exploded)

This closet case should just come out of his self-denial and accept that at the very least he is gay and quite probably trans.  Though I very much doubt that I would ever send him any makeup advice!

Really, he's a prime example of why I hate politics. It a shock that people that crazy can get elected to any office...and very, very scary that people are willing to support them.  :icon_omfg:

He is obviously trying to hitch a ride on the "Bigot Ticket"
