He said in a podcast appearance that trans people shouldn’t be able to make their decision to transition before the age of 25, this would be disastrous given puberty would be done by then.

Thank you for responding to my question with calmness and a desire to help me understand. I googled "did Newsom say people shouldn't be able to make their decision to transition until they are 25" and could find nothing. If you have the time to direct me to a link, I would appreciate it. 1/2

Here is the podcast I’m refereeing to youtu.be/5BBq3Q_fHSU, it’s at 2:58:00. You can watch the whole segment if you like, it’s pretty much a “both sides” all the way.

I queried ChatGPT and read this about whether or not Newsom said age 25…

Asking ChatGPT is not research especially since it’s source material is potentially years old. Here is the podcast the timestamp is 2:58:00 youtu.be/5BBq3Q_fHSU

I know ChatGPT isn’t the final word, but in doing research I find it helpful and it can lead to other sources.

I agree that it’s helpful, I am saying it’s the least reliable with new out information and stuff that is not directly indexed in news articles.

It’s not reliable. When I need a quick answer I go there first and then find reliable sources. It’s the only way.

I do the same. It’s great for spell checking! 🤷♀️

Agree! I fact check more than one source, and I’ve not found ChatGPT to be wrong yet.

I did my genealogy research on Ancestry and hit a road block. So I decided to give ChatGPT a try and OMG! It was one of the most amazing things that’s ever happened to me. ChatGPT helped me uncover a major family secret.

he's also said multiple times that it's "unfair" for trans athletes to compete against others of their gender.

Tbh I don’t think I can win on the sports issue.

maybe not but personally I don't particularly care because my morals don't depend on what will help a democrat win an election
