  • At least this will probably end his political career. The left really doesn't need another rich liberal pushing for status quo, and Newsom has shown he's effectively just that.

    All of this is likely to shift his image and potentially woo some right-wing voters in a future election and... Nah. I'm not about that. Too much of that.

  • He not only burnt his state down literally, but also now speaks to anti-LGBTQ+ pundits.

  • You guys are mad at him but he is taking the same stance that the majority of people have on it.

    Whether or not he actually believes that stance only he would know, but I would suspect that like many other people who are now "flipping" on the trans athletes these people probably didn't support them being in women's sports, but felt compelled to say they did because of the backlash they were worried about getting.

    Now that people are noticing that the general public actually doesn't want this they are either playing into to popular stance to take or they are just feeling safe to actually express their opinions on the matter authentically.

    • Trans lives matter. The public opinion will shift as it has throughout history. Trans people aren't going to go away.

    • If you think that "trans athletes" is a legitimate political concern, then you're a dummy at best and a fascist at worst. No surprise it's a major issue in the heart of empire.

      • Well it is a political concern in the sense that it's realists and delusionals coming to a point where they can't co-exist anymore.

        You're trying to convince people seahorses can actually fly despite everyone clearly being able to see that they cannot.

        You have delusion going up against objective facts and you're trying to get everyone on board with the delusion which will never work.

        99% of people do not give a shit if someone wants to identify as trans as long as they are an adult and they aren't trying to enter into spaces that belong to the biological gender they are now identifying as.

        Where you lose people is when you involve children and when you try to make the argument that trans people are exactly the same as their bilogical mirrors. Everyone knows they are not. It is lunacy to try and pretend they are.

        I will happily call them by their prefer name/gender and I will do my best to use neutral terms when I remember, but don't vilify people for making honest mistakes. Long before the whole transgender topic really blew up I remember accidentally mis gendering people on the phone a few times because I thought they sounded masculine or feminine. There was no ill intent and they didn't take it as such. They simply corrected me and I apologized and we moved on. That same interaction now has been turned into its own genre of rage bait video for some people.
