Fair enough. Which democratic candidate did you vote for to lose reproductive healthcare rights? Because if the answer is “nobody” then that’s a disingenuous comparison. ‘Republicans took away our rights, so you have to vote for a Democratic candidate that wants to take away yours’ doesn’t even make sense.

If you think Newsom might listen you can contact him and put pressure on him to change now. If he can change it shouldn’t be hard to prove it, right?

Then tell him to change his mind and stop telling trans people to vote for someone who actively wants them removed.

You're telling black people on 1960s to vote for George Wallace.

Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. Newsom, like Labor in the UK, shamelessly feed in to transphobia in an attempt to pander to the right. UK liberals haven't listened. And corporate Democrats are walking the same path, completely ignoring their constituents. Trump is as likely to change on the issue as Newsom is. In fact, both have changed their views on trans issues to move substantially to the right. Both have walked the same road.

Sorry, but fuck you and your fascist collaboration. And specifically, fuck your lack of morals. The amorality of liberals like yourself is precisely why fascists are advancing. You're a fascist enabler and collaborator.

Just listen to yourself. You're condemning someone for having a moral center. That's psychopath behavior.

He is an existential threat. Newsom has opposed and vetoed bills advancing trans rights. This isn't just rhetoric.

So you'll vote for him if he keeps the Republican talking points, got it. You don't care what they stand for, but the party they're with.

Cool, not sure what you want me to do with that information. I don’t think it was ever in question whether you or any other liberal who is offended by trans people demanding Newsom drop the transphobia would ultimately support him, or any other candidate with his policies, no matter what.

The question is if other voters will. If you don’t think it will change anything, then criticizing his transphobia won’t matter. If you think it will affect who votes for him, then you better start ringing his phone off the hook about it and you better start quick, because the days of trans people being quiet about it are gone. If you want to be the party of trans rights that means you also have to listen to trans people, not just use us as a decoration.
