Seriously. Half the comments in here are basically “How dare this guy be on our side! I will not abide anyone less pure than the Virgin Mary”. Maybe it’s just a bunch of right wing bots trying to sow division, but if so they are doing it remarkably well.
I hear what you’re saying, but it’s worth noting that Newsom is far from an opponent to the trans community. He is the governor of CA, which is famously a strong trans sanctuary state. He was the major of San Francisco, and supported LGBTQ+ rights to the point that the city was issuing marriage certificates before it was federally recognized.
As for his other recent stances, I think him saying transgender athletes playing in women’s sports being deeply unfair is, unfortunately, a popular and nuanced opinion. I don’t paint with such a broad brush that I think him saying women’s sports should get careful consideration with trans athletes as being the same thing as him saying trans people shouldn’t exist.

I hate him because he wants to put me back in the men’s room
