The 34-year-old Delaware state senator has said that her victory could be 'a lifesaving message' for trans youth.
Sarah McBride has made history as the first openly trans person to be elected to Congress per NBC News and Reuters. The Democrat will now fill the state’s lone seat in the U.S. Houses.
McBride’s win represents a historic moment for Congress ― and for the nation — that a trans person will be a federal lawmaker as Republicans have increasingly leveraged political and rhetorical attacks against trans people.“For someone who’s scared and feels alone, it could potentially be a lifesaving message to go to sleep in November seeing that someone like them is able to fully participate in our democracy, that they can be seen as full human beings,” McBridein September.
The following year, when Republican state lawmakers introduced SB 227, a bill that would bar transgender students from participating in school sports that align with their gender identity, McBride gave a passionate defense of LGBTQ+ rights.
