When Republicans first began using trans people as a political tool around 5 years ago, many Democrats were quick to oppose Republicans’ efforts to demonise the trans community. Accordingly, the federal government under Biden and Democratic-controlled states all passed laws to make their states more trans-friendly, providing valuable refuge against Republican policies. But upon Trump’s election last year, amid a firestorm of $200+ million worth of anti-trans attack ads, a handful of voices within the Democratic Party felt that this crucial support had been a mistake.
In the next few months, Democrats like New York Rep. Tom Suozzi, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, North Carolina Rep. Don Davis, and Texas Reps. Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar, along with California Governor Gavin Newsom and a number of Democratic candidates and state-level politicians, all shifted to the right when it came to trans people—almost always on trans sports. Well, at least they did.
Last month, Newsom, after facing significant criticism, appeared to walk back his anti-trans trend and signed a number of major trans-related bills, including one protecting trans kids’ medical records from federal subpoenas and another that makes transition-related court processes confidential. And in an appearance on San Francisco-based radio station KQED two weeks ago, Newsom even somewhat moderated his stance on trans sports. Now, he’s saying that while he still disagrees with a blanket policy allowing trans athletes to participate, it shouldn’t be a political issue and that he also thinks outright banning them is wrong.

It is about mandatory conformity with a President Newsom.
When TF is that even a thing?
"the mentally ill community" - much better description.
Transpeople are great. Some people don’t like them because the commit mass murder and kill Christians!
This appears to be an article about the mentally ill discussing their support from the communists.
Trans sports - aka "men beating up on women, and showing their junk in women's safe spaces".
Hilarious how these trans-wackos and their fellow sickos travelers call the shots in the Demolition Party.
How intolerant!
Muzzies like MamCommie like to see if trannies and fags can fly from the third story of tall buildings...
Yeah, just like America used the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor as a "tool."

No principals, just whatever gets votes.
Someone spent 200 million on anti-trans attack ads and I never saw one? Where, exactly did they spend the money? Perhaps signs on New York buses? The most I saw was a couple of social media posts where women were protesting being beaten up in sports by men.
I have the advantage of being seventy-one so I can remember a time when men in women’s locker rooms was an arrestable offence. Because men pretending to be women so they can beat them up is so against nature I’m guessing a time will come in, say, fifty years, when people will look back in disbelief that the “trans” episode got as far as it did.
The men I’ve seen dressed as women, all in Walmart, BTW, have been uniformly hideous, fat, men who affect a swish when they walk as if their hips were larger than they are. It draws the eye like a train wreck but doesn’t harm women in itself. But actual harm in Locker rooms and stadiums, that’s different.
Who is going to vote for transgenders to do ANYTHING? They are "creating" votes. Transgenders must have control of the voting process in liberal states, I guess.
Polls show the trans fad to be over.
Trannies be wack.
It’s either lockstep or death.
The author has a serious problem with differentiating between reality and fantasy.
The article is nearly all fantasy, or based on false ideas about the nature of reality.
ALL trans freaks, every single one of them, are just homosexuals with a cross dressing fetish. That’s what they are. Nothing more, nothing less.
They are play acting in their own miserable world and demand everyone else play along.
What exactly is TRANS RIGHTS?
If you’re an adult, nobody is stopping you from transitioning.
What additional rights do they want?
