I don't like his stance on the sports stuff but the widespread bsky believe that Gavin is axiomatically anti-trans seems completely fabricated to me

The school pronoun law caused a huge local political fight and was allegedly the reason why Elon Musk left the state

that's not why elon left the state lol. he was running a factory so fucking racist the state was going to be forced to shut him down. That's like one among many reasons Musk escaped, legal arbitrage, tax arbitrage, regulatory arbitrage. Musk just rants about trans b/c he hates his own daughter

Yes I know, but Musk drew attention to the law and amplified the political battle over it.

and what stops him from going further than "fairness in sports"? REPUBLICANS started with "fairness in sports", Labour started with "fairness in sports" like, sorry your stupid fucking ass can't recognise that this shit is always just the beginning

We do? The rank and file of the party? Like we did with Obama and gay marriage? Assuming that he's beyond your ability to influence is just defeatism.

yet you instead declare anybody dead who refuses to vote for him while he espouses transphobic positions and are hence trying to fucking make him change

Anyone who acts in a way that makes a JD Vance presidency more likely is dead to me, yes. This regime in the hands of a younger man means 20 years of fascism.

so you rather want to shame people who don't want to vote for a candidate that will imperil their existence rather than shame said candidate out of imperiling their existence?

What makes you think I don't want to shame Newsom's anti-trans positions? I've said multiple times I won't vote for him in the primary.

I just take people literally when they say they won't vote in the 2028 general election.

because you rather yell at a trans woman she is dead to you because she refuses to vote for a currently transphobic candidate that is getting defended up and down by cissy liberals three years out from the fucking election
