BTW, saying trans people are at increased risk for suicide is not "portraying" them as "mentally ill" -- it's citing research. If we can't talk about increased risks a group may have, then what's the point of studying that group for those risks? pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
They are at higher risk as a group because they get denied the healthcare they need and discriminated against as a group. Newsom is against their healthcare, and pro-discrimination.
And he's not just vocally against it, either. He's started actively using his power as governor to suppress trans people's healthcare. www.eqca.org/vetoes-gende...
Vetoing a bill to expedite licensing of facilities that provide care is simply not the same as being "pro-discrimination." I would enjoy a dialog about how he was wrong to veto that bill without engaging in extreme labeling.
Oh fuck off. lalgbtcenter.org/vanguard/pre...
So, "fuck off" is your response? OK, this is going nowhere. You can go back to X if you want to insult and swear. Let's just end this conversation.
Fuck off with the excuses. This is a consistent pattern for him. He does not support trans healthcare. www.dailykos.com/stories/2023...
OK. I will agree he doesn't support AB2442 until its further studied. But he signed SB107. Let's dispense with generalized labeling and swearing, though. calmatters.org/health/2022/...
And he vetoed AB957. And he's unilaterally defunded a major LGBTQ healthcare initiative in 2025. He pivoted to a soft anti-trans stance in 2023 and has only gotten more aggressive with it since.
