I could post thousands about high rates of homeless deaths in California are and how Newsom's policies make that worse and how high trans suicide rates are and how that is cause largely by transphobia and how newsom contributes to that.
The first two links are different outlets reporting on the exact same study, which talks about a nationwide increase in death rates, not just California, and both have this quote from the study author early in the article:
The third link is entirely about efforts to have better reporting, in order to figure out what policies might help. It has no policy recommendations or criticisms of current policy.
The fourth and fifth links are about suicide rates among transgender people nationally, not specific to California.
I am not tracking how any of these reflect on specific policies advocated for by Newsom.
Thank you for doing this legwork for me. I was too hung over this morning to deal with liberal fascist enabling stupidity myself.
Its too bad most of the studies provided happened before Newsom was elected
