Newsom signed ~20 pro-trans bills (see itemization), including access to care, privacy, inclusive schools and institutions, and support systems; plus expanded LGBTQ+ rights through related legislation. On the other hand he said some mean words, so throw *him* under the bus.
what's interesting is how none of those have 2025 next to them and how he says, in his own words, that he regrets them
If you think this about mean words, you aren't paying attention. This is about the cavalier dismissal of what were supposedly deeply held values as soon as it's politically expedient. This is no different from prevaricating on Gaza. Values that can be so easily dismissed weren't actually integral
Trans people are the canaries in the coal mine. Where they go we will all go, eventually, whether we claim to care about them or not. This is because trans issues, and trans rights, are the synthesis of all the things Ur-Fascism wishes to crush. theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umbe...
Someone wanting to roll back trans rights will be coming for my rights as a cis woman next. They will then go after gay rights. And they will eventually come for your rights. Read your history and see the pattern. It's the same one every time fascism rears its head.
While all of this is true, you shouldn't have to see the machine coming for you to stop it from going for someone else
People are inherently selfish and self-centered. The reason the Martin Niemöller poem is so affecting, and keeps getting repeated ad nauseum now, is that people under duress will naturally attempt to protect themselves and their families first. That is weaponized by fascists.
Successfully pointing out this tactic means you don't have to convince others of the humanity of transpeople, or immigrants and refugees, or Palestinian children. You only have to show them that they're next.
So while you shouldn't have to see the machine coming for you to stop it from going for someone else, if you can show the vast majority of people the machine is going through others to get to them, they may be more inclined to help you stop it before it consumes us all.
Ah, so that makes up for him wanting to roll back the rights of trans people he has moaned about?
Post this on main instead of hiding. IYKYK I will not support anti trans Democrats.
You stink of astroterf.
Platforming neo-Nazis is bad, Mark, you do realize that, right?
> so throw *him* under the bus. unironically yes. you're not getting back to brunch that easy!
I take your point here, but I do not at all think that Susan Stryker is out of line to call him out on his recent comments, which seem to be a weaselly way of him backing out of his past support of equal rights/privacy/dignity for trans people.
donald trump was once a registered democrat, and you support him because of that, no matter what he’s said or done since then
Yet he is on the podcast now saying he is now rethinking care for transgender kids. I am a cisgender gay man and I can see where Newsom is headed.
I was not aware of that. Thank you.
This is a reasonable response that is factually based.
suck-start a shotgun
but can you see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch?
The thing about being a woman or trans is you can be completely right about something and people will call you "unreasonable" until you show them what a cis man said about it.
Based on what Mark?
Spoken like someone who has no fucking clue what it's like to be Queer in this country.
You know, it saves everyone a lot of time if you don't try and convince people they're wrong about the facts of something they're objecting to and skip to this part where you just admit you agree with what they're objecting to.
Sounds like you’re a vile bigot that should get a brick
Really? Then for example, explain how not considering whether a parent is ok with their kid being trans when considering custody is reasonable. Do you think it is also ok if they don't consider if a parent is homophobic when considering the custody of a gay child?
It was also covered in the talking points in the video, by the subject of the video, before you drafted and published your response to comments under the video.
It's bigotry, you ignorant hack. Now fuck off.
You will die alone and scared fwiw
Fuck off loser. Everybody knows what he's doing if they have 2 braincells but i guess you don't. You are evil and i dont respect you or your ideas or your thoughts or your mind.
Newsom also KILLED a bunch of pro-trans legislation, has gone on Nazi podcasts to discuss banning youth transition for trans people under 26 (!!) and recently pressured California hospitals to stop providing trans youth care. He's going full Nazi on trans issues.
Yes. Absolutely. The second any politician wavers the slightest bit from vociferous support of trans people, they're dead to me. Because if they can't be relied to stand up for trans people with their entire chest while the federal government is attempting a trans genocide, they're useless.
Did you not listen? He has literally said in the past few weeks that he believes signing those bills was wrong. Why am I asking, you're obviously being purposefully ignorant to call trans people hysterical
He’s said he wants to roll some of them back. Worse, he hasn’t even said which ones. It’s not throwing him under the bus, it’s telling him not to step in front of it.
For anyone just reading this now, this person's using ChatGPT for their Newsom defense so you can safely ignore this
Those were before he started saying his views had changed dude.
Newsom is a shinning example of the term "One step forward and two steps back" when it comes to trans people." Yeah he'll get us there in the end eventually, but it'll be kicking and screaming like most Centrists on Trans issues. He's Chuck Schumer with balls when we need AOC with support.
AOC with balls wouldn't be a bad option honestly. I lost a lot of respect for her when Nancy Pelosi made her cry and change her vote. We need people who are actually capable of standing up for their constituents in real time, when voters are cast, not just on Insta.
If voters are that desperate for a white guy, the Democrats can put forth Senator Chris Van Hollen.
He's not a bad pick
Who the fuck cares. Listen to what he's saying when he jovially chats with his fascist podcast pals.
Mark, are you an idiot, being intentionally inaccurate, or a transphobic piece of shit that is simping for another transphobioc piece of shit? Im willing to bet good money that its all three.
trust the experts, except for when they're trans women, of course.
I think Newsom realizes that sex and gender are different. FINALLY, right? Gosh…how long does it take to realize that??He’s listening, bc he’s been an advocate. He’s really trying to be fair, because sex and gender are different. There are sexed physical advantages that might be unfair to cis girls.
and now he's endorsed by Bannon and enjoys the company of fascists, pretty sure what he's doing NOW is what matters.
You don’t have to waste you time arguing with an anonymous person who is disagreeing with a Trans Transgender studies professor who has received the Transgender Legacy Award from the California state legislature. You can literally just tell them to STFU … or just block them …
I know, it's me wasting time at work and took two seconds but I understand lol
Of course. I was just calling attention to how out of their depth they are.
Bad faith argument. Bannon's quote: "[I]f you look at the Democratic Party, he's at least getting up there, and he's trying to imitate a Trumpian vision of fighting, right? He looks like the only person in the Democratic Party who is organizing a fight that they feel they can win."
That's a fight the rest of us will lose because we don't matter to people like Gavin Newsom or Steve Bannon. When Steve Bannon appears to be on your side, you're wrong.
I looked at a screen & saw him say with his mouth he don’t think trans people should even think about transitioning before they’re 25 because their brains aren’t developed & I would like to introduce him to some trans teenagers I know who’re halfway through college before they finished high school
we will vote for trump if you people run gavin newsom for president in 2028. gavin newsom's suggestion of banning our healthcare for any trans person under 26 will kill a generation of us, but just like AIDs denialists in the 80s and 90s, you refuse to believe the science and think you know better.
If you're voting for Trump for any reason you were never an ally to begin with.
gavin newsom's proposals would statistically result in every trans person in the country knowing at least two young people who do not survive those laws. us voting for trump wouldnt cause as much of a danger to you people as newsom would to us, but you have more to lose.
imagine if trump started a war and every family you knew lost at least one military age male in the fighting. it would not do as much damage to your community as newsom has proposed to do to ours, but we know it is a risk. and so we are telling you — cut this shit out or we'll see you in camps!
you are offering that only we die. we are countering your offer with a promise that some of you people suffer alongside us. that is a terrible deal for you. you should rescind your earlier offer. unless you really want trump to win a third term, you should drop groomer gavin.
Trump is constitutionally prohibited from serving a third term and won't live that long. Make whatever threats you need to, it won't make a difference to me. You'll only be in the same situation as every misogynistic racist who voted Trump in 2024 whose entire extended family is dead, or deported.
You’re a loser
Win for whom, Mark?
I mean I am not voting for him. Considering he signed a law to protect pedophiles and has failed to make any motion on even a small project like high speed rail from LA to SF. He is useless and everything wrong with the Democratic Party
Where do you get your talking points? Ragebait boomer memes on fb? 😅
Ok my bad he didn’t sign he vetoed protection for incarcerated kids www.latimes.com/california/s...
Bad-faith argument. Newsom did not "protect pedophiles." Snopes has an article on it (attached).
Can you see yourself the fuck out of my notifications until you put your name and face behind your profile?
He is today in easy blocking. Thank you for sharing the video of Dr. Stryker.
Anonymous troll complains about bad-faith arguments. Classic.
It's up to you: stop posting wrong or misleading information and you'll never hear from me again.
Or you can fuck off ✌️😘
He doesn’t take no from women which is really creepy.
Which is funny because I’m a literal dude
Well he probably equates drag queens with transgender people.
I say block the coward who is obviously sock-puppeting and unwilling to declare his name or his affiliations. Spineless creep
is the other you gavin newsom
That’s not a link to Snopes, that’s a screenshot from somewhere else. In fact it just looks an AI summary you hoped would answer this for you. THIS is a link to Snopes. www.snopes.com/fact-check/c...
It's w screenshot shot of Chat GPT. My guy paid for the computer that doesn't understand how many B's are in Blueberry.
😆
Ok my bad he didn’t sign into law protection for detention officers which is what I though but he vetoed protection for juvenile detention www.latimes.com/california/s...
www.latimes.com/california/s...
AI FTW
buddy that is not mean words, he specifically believes in banning a medication that improves our survival outcomes at a higher rate than _insulin_ does for diabetics. that is not "mean words". that is attempting to manufacture a health crisis that will target our community in particular.
idk if you remember, you probably thought it was funny at the time, but our ppl have a certain history with governments manufacturing a health crisis that kills us in particular. we see the direction that gavin newsom is speaking, and no one in a free society should be allowed to advocate for that.
i mean for fuck's sake, advocating for _segregating_ us is not even the worst thing he proposed in the past month.
😂 of course you let the stupid corporate bullshit machine do your thinking for you. That's why you're so excited for a soulless, unelectable piece of shit.
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise tries to turn itself over, but it can’t without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
Let me tell you about my mother...
Cool story mark, get ready to lost in 2028 with Newsom because trans people will not be voting for him and you absolutely need us to win.
l o l ,, using chatgpt to “prove” this, what about his podcast with charlie kirk? what about the podcast he *just* did which susan stryker is referencing with far right nut job shawn ryan? www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...
instead of having a knee jerk reaction of defending this guy who you do not know and do not know everything he’s done or said about a minority group you do not belong to try listening to that minority group instead, thanks!
Just to make it clear, if Gavin is the nominee I will just not vote like it's that easy. Pick a better candidate. I'm tired of the choices being evil and evil but low calorie and having to deal with some idiots defending the low calorie option.
What Newsom did in the past is not reflective of what he is doing NOW. Which is vetoing bills that strengthen trans rights, using his office to discreetly suppress support for those bills among the state reps and signal-boosting far right anti-trans talking points on their podcasts.
Did the Lying Machine tell you any of that? No? Is using a real search engine too hard? Yeah, I bet it is, little buddy.
Search engines do suck now.
Mainly because they put results from the Lying Machine at the top of the search, but there are ways around that.
stop speaking over trans people, loser.
may as well have posted a picture of yourself with your head in the toilet waiting for us to flush it go look yourself in the eye in the mirror and ask yourself if you should cede your cognitive function to a chatbot
how many 'r''s are in blueberry?
Do you understand how linear time works you dumb fuck
Was this chatgpt you loser????
Fuck all the way off, robot
Why the fuck should I read that which you didn’t even fucking write
Lmao look at this clanker. Try again, skin job.
Is that fucking chat GPT?
I didn't realize that until I saw the comments lmao what a fucking moron.
Couldn't come up with that on your own? You needed the robot to talk for you? Yeah? You needed the wobot to try and come up with an argument? You are too stupid? Do you need the bobot to fuck your wife for you too?
LMFAO can't even hold a discussion without consulting your sapiomasturbatory validation bot. Come back when you have an original thought.
Unfortunately for you, the I in AI is overly exaggerated try asking it if his positions didn't align with Charlie Kirk, a known transphobe, on trans issues on his own podcast. But you know, I'm sure ChatGPT knows better, can't even give correct steps on how to fix a PC but knows who the f is an ass
hold up, is this chatgpt they're using? please tell me he's not "debunking" using chatgpt lmao
fucking brain worms lmao

I'm sorry, I wish I had better news, but... Yes, it's chatgpt. I will understand if your faith in humanity gets obliterated from it. I'm sorry for your loss.
silence robot fucker
Hey, leave us non-abominable-intelligence using robots and robot fuckers out of this thanks
I'm so sorry but we have to kill Kosmos in the war on clankers. I take no pleasure in reporting this
😔 So much for the tolerant left
Wait hold on now~
Training data is not real time you absolute mark
lmao chatgpt, useless cunt
Hey, why are you so prejudiced against trans people that you think you have some sort of authority that surpasses the knowledge of trans people and experts, while being unwilling to even learn anything and depending on a bot to do your thinking?
You know you're stupid when your only available recourse is to ask the suicide machine to back you up.
Posting screenshots of ChatGPT is what's really bad faith.
bsky.app/profile/nacl... ask chatgpt to name the episode of gavin newsom's podcast that he invited charlie kirk on. u cant.
Yeah go fuck yourself
Shut up, bitch-ass.
You understand this makes the guy you're being paid to post for look *WORSE*, right? Politicians that abandon their previously-claimed principles because they think it will win them votes aren't well-regarded generally
Try listening to trans people, not just posting blurred screengrabs
Did you watch the video? She explained on more than one occasion that Newsom is telling right wing podcasters that he was wrong or too quick to act on some of these. Fuck you.
"Here's a big list of shit he's actively in the process of rolling back," that's your big rebuttal here?
he also has indicated that he wants to make it so you have to be 25 to get HRT so he still sucks dick and if he's the nominee i'm not voting for him if that continues to be the stance he takes.
Are you aware of how the passage of time works, Mark?
Hey you bigoted fuck I think this woman knows more than you about what Newsom has done or said. So eat my shit and hair, you disgusting bigoted piece of shit
look, a bunch of things he did before courting fascists and saying he changed his mind.
Exactly. He *abandons* his so-called liberal ideals/values the absolute second he perceives that he cannot leverage them to move forward anymore. Everything and everyone is a pawn.
I actually have a lot of mean words to say before we put you under the bus
"another newsom fan is trying to pretend like he isn't transphobic, sir"
He saved 19 lives but decided to murder the 20th one, 🖕
www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
“Mean words” here being his new stance that trans people don’t deserve basic human rights.
So was he a liar then, or now?
Yes. Newsom does whatever is politically expedient at the time. He's a chameleon. Californians know this. He also has extraordinarily bad judgement.
you mean the list of things which, as the video above mentions, Newsom says went too far and he now regrets and would roll back? can't have it both ways
Then why throw trans folks under the bus when talking to Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon ? What is the purpose of that ?
And yet Newsom has gone to agree with fascists about his opposition to trans kids playing support and said he doesn't think people should transition until 25. That's not support. And just because he signed a bill doesn't mean he supports a community.
Oh wow, I hadn’t considered this. Guess I’ll just let him take my healthcare away and die, since he’s earned it by been such a good boy (in the past) 👍🏼
eat a bag of shit you fascist cunt.
Did you even watch the video? Since signing those Newsom has changed his mind.
