Amazing how all it takes for a Republican to grow a spine is to not have to answer to voters ever again.

I'm sorry it took you announcing your retirement to stand up for what is right, but grateful that you are. Maybe some of the others who also announced retirement will find their spine too

He's already said he's not running for reelection so at this point he has nothing to lose. It's a shame that's what it takes for these people to step and do the right thing. If he was running again, you wouldn't be hearing a peep from him.

Yes! I am seeing this enraging tendancy to name men as solving problems right now but not women. Newsome is helpful right now, but is ok with limiting transitions to adults aged 25 or older??

exactly. Transitions should be available from 16 or even 18. Puberty blockers for any age, however, since if you go off them, you'll start puberty like normal, instead.
