X is a place where someone can say all this like its a bad thing.

A drag queen is running under the name 'Maebe A. Girl' to be a state senator in California for the Democratic Party. His main policies are 'LGBTQIA+ rights' and 'fuck fascism'. He's considered to be a front runner, having come second in a congressional election in 2022
