hehe... HAHAH... HAW HAW... GUFFAAW!
Okay... So... there were some headlines at the beginning of the year talking about how many anti-trans bills the Republican party had been flooding the various states' Congresses' with. The number was in the hundreds across the USA.
You know what I never read a headline about? How many pro-trans bills the Democratic party were flooding those same Congresses' with in response. So like, no only would they be vocal and voting against the anti-trans stuff but being vocal and pushing for pro-trans stuff. But that didn't seem to happen. One party not only said what they believed, they actually tried to legislate in accordance with their stated beliefs. The other party will talk about believing something but get really waffley when it comes time to actually do the thing.
Also, if you live in a red state, the "harm reduction" argument doesn't apply. Unless you vote for team red, your vote is wasted on a candidate.
I transitioned just over 20 years ago, at the time in California I had no right to housing or employment (i.e. it was perfectly legal for a landord to say "we don't rent to your type"). Guess who changed that?
So you're saying it matters?
Lol tough timing for that argument Newsom literally just vetoed a bill defending Trans people.
I don't believe this bill was that clear cut, I don't think Newsom did anything seriously wrong here. Did you read his response? I think it makes sense, as a trans person I agree with his vote.
