His views don’t align with Dem voters nationally, and certainly not within Cali.
On this latest podcast, the meandering conversation started on America’s so-called “masculinity crisis”—a reference to real problems facing boys and men, such as higher rates of suicide and social isolation, or a nod to conservative pearl-clutching about the perceived “feminization” of American boys, depending on who you ask.
“Most of these kids, many of them [are] not even having any relations, sexual relations, with other women,” Newsom said.
The conversation went from lamenting how American youth don’t have enough sex, to hand-wringing about whether the LGBT rights movement may be pushing “sexuality” onto kids.
“Speaking of sexuality and divisiveness,” Ryan said, “One of the things in the last administration that really divided people was gender affirming care, LGBTQ [sic].” They incorrectly equated sexual orientation and gender identity, leading to a conversation about what Newsom called “the trans issue.”
“That’s now no longer about celebrating your rights. It’s about denying other people theirs,” Newsom said. “Marriage equality was about everyone’s right […] But your child may not have that same opportunity to get on the podium if a trans athlete is competing.”
He’s just repeating the same right-wing talking points we have to debunk every single day, designed to portray trans people as some kind of looming general threat. Gavin Newsom is no kind of ally.
Newsom is a piece of shit that needs to go.

I keep wondering if he is planning on switching parties and running as a moderate republican in '28 and this is just laying the groundwork.
