Don't worry, I'm sure Ted Cruz was inside every washroom at the event monitoring to ensure everyone was the right sex, (all the while breathing heavily). Story out of Frederick, Maryland:
A transgender teen was ejected from a Ted Cruz rally in Maryland on Thursday because of his gender identity, according to his account of events.
James Van Kuilenburg, a 16-year-old student at Gov. Thomas Johnson High School, said on his Facebook page he wanted to attend the rally in Frederick, Md., to learn about Cruz and obtained tickets in advance, but after entering the event, campaign staff escorted him outside.
“Before we even had a chance to see Cruz, I was tapped on the shoulder,” Van Kuilenburg wrote. “When I turned, there was a Campaign Staff member, asking me to leave. I am a visibly trans person, and I’m proud of it, so I wore my trans pride flag around my shoulders and a National Center for Transgender Equality shirt. The campaign staff member kept holding on to me, saying the ‘event staff were asking me to leave.’ I then asked what the reason was, but he only repeated himself.”
Van Kuilenburg claims that as he was being escorted out, he tried to inform the media that he was being removed from the event, but campaign staff deterred him. Cont.
