Transvestite Politician
ROME - Vladimir Luxuria will ditch the sequins, feather boas and bouffant wigs when she enters Italy's parliament. The drag queen says she will be Europe's first transgender member of parliament. and wants to be seen as a serious politician. Born Wladimiro Guadagno, the former organizer of Italy's gay pride parades, considers herself neither male nor female but dresses as a woman and prefers to be referred to as "she."
Luxuria has shot to national fame by running for parliament where she is practically guaranteed a seat at April's general election by teaming up with the country's main communist party.

Wow, this would be a huge step on involvement of gay rights within Politics. I would be shocked to see her sitting in Parliament. I hope her "situation" do not interfere with her work as Politician.

This will be interesting to see how this will play out. Obviously the vote shows a change in mind set towards transgendered people. I doubt her change will interfere with her ability to make good decisions, but I wonder how it will effect others.
Did any of you see 'her' pic or image on television? She looks like a man with long hair to me. Now what was interesting was the 'welcome' she got when she entered parliament - no one greeted her at all save one - and that person kissed her on both cheeks. This tells me that it was not a unanimous decision and may have been a political move or blunder.
