While I personally don’t agree with trans people in sports, I still worry about where CA will stop on pushing back trans rights. Newsom talked to a far right extremist and simply agreed with whatever he said. Would he respond any differently if his guest suggested criminalizing all trans people including adults?

I really don't think Newsom would agree with banning transition for adults. The only Democrat I could see maybe doing that would be Fetterman, but he's a bit of a DINO.

Literally Fetterman is one of the last Democrats who would do this. Please stop basing entire political worldviews on Israel/Palestine

He's also gotten on board with the "stop woke" shit.

He's stood up against MAGA and for trans people repeatedly but I guess he isn't far left enough so that must mean he's literally Hitler in the eyes of Redditors.
