It’s not about choosing Newsom. It’s about advocating for trans dignity, humanity & rights while allowing for the reality that the electorate is sadly to varying degrees transphobic & political animals like Newsom reflect that. It’s uniting against the common enemy as much as possible
You can’t advocate for trans dignity while also saying we need to let political animals strategically deploy vicious, dehumanizing transphobia. Newsom is overtly, explicitly advocating against the basic rights of trans adults. This is an easy, obvious thing to draw a line about.
again, this is your self regard over actual literal harm to people. Like those who wouldn’t vote Biden/Harris over Gaza (I get it! Fuck Biden! Fuck the genocidal Israelis!) the Trumpists are infinitely worse for the Palestinians. You’re not helping the community you say you’re trying to protect
I’m not helping the trans community by (checking my notes) objecting to Newsom parroting false, hateful, right wing talking points about them? I should sit down and shut up while the smart political animals make trans people safer by… opposing their basic rights—am I understanding you correctly?
No you sure arent
