I watched the Hillary documentary on Hulu and when Hillary was running for president against Obama, there were protesters with signs telling her to go iron their shirts. I had so much going on in my life at that time, I had no idea the vitrol she got just for being a woman. Stuff like that reminds you just how sexist this country is. When she was running for 2016, there were women (yes, plural) in some of my FB groups saying they didn't believe that a woman should be in those kind of leadership positions.

This is why I could see a transwoman being chosen for VP over a woman. They'd play him/her out to be "so stunning and brave", and would avoid the insults implying that they belonged in the kitchen/with their children. It seems transwomen are immune to those kinds of put-downs.
