Regarding Gavin Newsom's transphobic presidential posturing
March 7, 2025•296 words
This is regarding your recent podcast for the purpose of advancing your political ambitions for the U.S. presidency. Before the podcast, I would have counted myself as one of your supporters. I cheered your support for marriage equality from your days as mayor of San Francisco and voted twice for your campaigns for California governor.
Now, however, it appears that you've joined the current president's cruel targetting of trans people. You have thrown trans people under the bus in the early phases of your run to be the Democratic nominee for president in the next election. You are pushing the Overton Window in the wrong direction and are actively making the U.S. worse for trans people. That signals that you're willing to further marginalize any group in service to your ambitions.
You can no longer be trusted and have lost my support. I won't be quiet about why.

I love it when I get an email telling me that someone clicked one or more of the react buttons at the bottom of the post. However, I have no idea who did it. If you're so inclined, leave a guestbook note!
