      Gavin Newsome simply said it’s fair to question whether trans should be allowed to play on girls teams.

      This is a position that the VAST majority of the american working class agrees with.

      Let us, for a moment, remember the median voter and the fact that politicians must try to appeal to them should they wish to gain office.

        Nope

        Nonetheless, he appeared to double down on the sentiment and then some this week on the Shawn Ryan Show podcast. The whopping four-hour conversation (which was not exclusively about LGBTQ+ issues) started by questioning the participation of trans athletes in women’s sports, cascaded into sowing doubt about evidence-based gender affirming care, and landed on fake news about schools providing litter boxes to kids who say they’re animals.

        Literally right there in the links you ignored.
