The only Qualifications anyone should require to be a Politician….should be a genuine desire to serve the Public.
Sex and Gender should be totally irrelevant, especially when we see how many egotistical, selfish, bad and down right evil and heartless men and women thats involved in Politics.
When are people simply going to be judged be their character rather than identity politics?
