    Virginia Beach teacher is city’s 1st transgender council candidate


    By The Associated Press May 11, 2018 8:34 am

    VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — A Virginia teacher will be the first transgender candidate to run for city council in her city.
    WVEC-TV reports that 45-year-old Allison White confirmed her candidacy for an at-large position on the Virginia Beach City Council on Thursday. She says she’s running to make education a priority, which would consequently create opportunities for the city.
    She’s been a teacher at King’s Fork High School since it opened in 2004, and has taught in the International Baccalaureate program for 10 years.


    Late last year, Danica Roem made history in the state when she became Virginia’s first openly transgender office holder.

    One notes, however that it may soon be illegal for people like Allison White to describe themselves as 'transgender' as the US will only recongise Male and Female. Crucial for rights to be taken away from Americans if they were granted by the Obama Presidency: What Obama Made, We Destroy.
