Yes. Because Trump's transphobia pales in comparison to big bad evil Newsom? Are you for real?

Find a place where I said that. You can’t, because you just made it up. I am a trans person living in America in fear because of how Trump’s transphobia has affected my life. I’m not going to leave the country in the next 3 years unless it’s permanently, because I might lose my passport. My access to medication is in peril. I have spoken about all these things extensively. Demanding that be the subject of a post about Gavin Newsom is ridiculous and derailing from the fact that Newsom’s transphobia is also unacceptable.

This reminds me of when so many left-leaning people were tricked into not voting for Harris because things are terrible in the middle east.

Cool story, irrelevant since I both live in a blue state and voted.

If it’s super important to have trans people not bring up Newsom’s transphobia, there is one and only one way to solve it: put pressure on him now to not abandon us.
