Then we had better pick a candidate who supports the health and existence of my trans kids or this Dem since the age of 3 will stay the F home.

I don't know of any Democratic candidate or office holder who doesn't support the Rights of trans people. If you have someone locally who isn't supportive then find a better Dem Candidate.

Under Governor Gavin Newsom, Calif has enacted several policies to protect transgender & gender-diverse people, with a focus on providing "sanctuary" protections for those fleeing other states. Newsom has also faced criticism from LGBTQ+ over some of his decisions. (Google AI)

The blog article you linked to below clarifies your viewpoint with a lot of facts about Newsom sacrificing a segment of the LGBTQ+ community... but the fact is, FOR NOW his tactics should be encouraged & mirrored by other prominent leaders, thus our job is to encourage ALL of them. Nevermind 2028.

I didn't say he should stop being aggressive and I appreciate him setting a good example of how to troll the Convicted Felon. But he is not my candidate of choice at this stage. I cannot vote against the civil rights of my own children and in fact I will not.

"He's not my candidate of choice at this stage." I think too many people are falling into this click-bait legacy media trap of discussing that right now. It's stupid to talk about 2028 when we have a crucial mid-term in 15 months, and Newsom isn't on that ballot.

Unfortunately Newsom has thrown trans folks under the bus multiple times recently. As has Buttigieg. I'm Pritzker for now.

Believing that trans female athletes have an unfair advantage in female sports is “throwing trans folks under the bus?”

It's a non-issue. There are like 10 trans athletes in college sports in the entire US. It's a red herring.

They seem to think it is a reason to take human and civil rights from trans people. I do not. It is a non-issue for me, not for them apparently. Some people are more equal than others.

What right? The right to essentially cheat? Ok. So again HOW ELSE are Gavin & Pete hurting trans people? Besides the sports angle. Please. I’m dying to know and YOU are the FIRST PERSON I’ve gone back and forth with on this who has been even remotely civil.

There are not enough people in high level sports to worry about this. There is no need for Dems in leadership to weigh in.

Red herring. “According to information received, by 30 March 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports” (That's from the UN, FYI) www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

This is how we lose. We need to vote for the candidates that get us as far as possible to a set of values we care about and then, once they’re in office, use influence to get them to push for and protect your rights.
aug 26, 2025, 12:15 am • 2 1 • view
Ah, three years before the primaries I should get on the bandwagon for a candidate who does not think my children have the right to exist. I see no need to do that at this time, no matter how many people tell me trans rights are just not important enough.

What possible/probable Democrat presidential candidate says trans kids should not exist? That person, if they exist, would have a lot of other red flags.

Yes, Newsom does, as a matter of fact.
aug 26, 2025, 12:26 am • 1 0 • view
Yes, he has red flags so his bid for the presidency is not solid. In the meantime, support what he is doing to save our democracy.

Never Trumpers looked the other way inside the GOP for years while the rot set in and now they're asking others in the Democratic Party to do the same when their concern is the rights of their children to live as they are. Negative polarization is what creates the rot you left your party for.

While she continues to demand that Democratic candidates pass her purity tests, Trump and his Republican henchmen are actively working to entirely erase her kids and their rights from the national discourse.
aug 25, 2025, 9:02 pm • 20 1 • view
She's asking for Democrats to actively stand up for the rights of her kids instead of just staying quiet hoping the issue set can be argued somewhere else instead. That kind of cowardice is what allows Republicans to frame the entire issue all on their own.

He probably wouldn't, but apparently he would vote for a candidate who says *my* kids don't have the right to exist because my kids don't matter. He thinks I should too or I don't care about Democracy or some such BS. We have time to find better candidates.
