>If you’ve scrolled social media lately, you’ve likely seen Democrats cheering California Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Donald Trump. Whether it’s his all-caps posts, his red hats emblazoned with “Newsom Was Right About Everything,” or his willingness to spar with right-wing culture-war fixations like the Cracker Barrel rebrand, Newsom has been telegraphing his ambition to be Trump’s foil well before 2028. That performance has Democrats buzzing about him as a future national standard-bearer. But among transgender people, the mood is markedly different: Newsom inspires discomfort at best and outright hostility at worst. Their reaction is telling. In recent years, trans people have learned how quickly politicians can turn on them, and many see Newsom’s brand of politics as a flashing warning sign. For those who are not transgender, this piece will explain why so many of us do not look to Gavin Newsom for our future.

>First, an acknowledgment: Gavin Newsom has proven effective at needling Donald Trump online. He’s gaining followers, driving news cycles, and picking fights where he knows he can land punches. On substance, he’s also taking steps Democrats should applaud—leaning hard into California’s redistricting fight after Texas’s mid-cycle power grab, and pressing California universities not to cave to Trump administration demands for monetary payments to the government and policy changes, including those for transgender people. These moves are good, or at the very least, refreshing.

>But in his bid to win over the center—and even peel off some on the right—Newsom has decided that at least one group can be sacrificed for his own political gain: transgender people. In the aftermath of the 2024 election, a handful of Democratic candidates and strategists settled on a convenient scapegoat: that it was transgender rights that cost Kamala Harris the presidency.

>GDS comes to lgbt
Snowflakes

this guy is the american psycho..

>>40825868 (OP)
gavin newsom would end up being like keir starmer, he’s only really principled in his hatred for the homeless and the republican party

stop making newscum threads, governor's office staffers
nobody wants them

he’s a ghoul who fucking hates homeless people, rubs elbows with chuds like charlie kirk, and just recently agreed with some other conservative on his dumbass podcast that people shouldn’t transition before 25. why would we like him?

>>40825963
>why should we like him
he appeals to trump voters, is pretty qualified to be president, fuck tweakers idc get a job, and he will be better for trannies than the republican candidate (possibly trump atp)

>>40825963
>he’s a ghoul who fucking hates homeless people
I wish, he is doing nothing about them

>>40825978
>um sir SIR he is QUALIFIED
shut the fuck up nerd

>>40825963
I walked around hollywood late at night recently and the lack of homeless people there actually made me feel safe. We should unironically get rid of more of them.

>>40825868 (OP)
Right wing psyop to turn us against the man who is our only chance. They're spamming all tranny and lefty forums trying to turn us against him

>>40826077
don’t speak about my glorious governor like that
TRANNIES4NEWSOM

>>40826104
>Right wing psyop to turn us against the man who is our only chance
Are you retarded
He is from California
And not only that he was mayor of fucking san francisco
All they have to do is run nonstop ads featuring open air drug use and say "this californian coastal elite wants to bring this to your town" and 70 year old grannies from virginia or wisconsin who think trump is uncouth might vote for him

It doesn't matter what you think, this is what is gonna happen.

It's not an act. This guy is basically blue hat MAGA and doesn't appeal to anyone except other blue hat MAGA types.

Gavin has passed trans protections in California. Online leftists are just coming up with their next excuse to not vote

>>40825868 (OP)
unless there's a democrat openly tripling down on trans issues i'm voting republican next election idgaf at this point.

>>40825978
he does not appeal to trump voters, are you fucking stupid?

>>40826215
Why don't you just kill yourself if you don't care? Why make your retardation everyone's problem?

*platforms charlie kirk*
heh
nothin personell...... xirs......

>>40826226
if trans people have to suffer i'm making everyone else suffer too
very honestly the whole trans issue is a good litmus test as to what civilization people want and if people want third worldism i will help them get what they want

>>40826235
I literally do not care about what he does in his personal time. He could be giving head to libs if tiktok as long as he's not passing anti trans legislation

>>40826235
It's not "platforming" if the guy you're supposedly "platforming" already has a bigger platform than you

>>40825879
Cope for Cali tap water is undrinkable.

>>40826254
>as long as he's not passing anti trans legislation
yeah, about that...

>>40826277
Can you show me the anti trans legislation he passed in CA?

>>40825978
>he appeals to trump voters
so does Trump, retard

>>40825868 (OP)
I thought trannies would love newsome, im an indepedant from england and im black i straight thought the free sex changes he's offering would have duped yall same way big pharma duped yall into being test pigs

The free sex changes would increase taxes in cali even more and i dont think this dude actually even likes trannies lmao

>>40825868 (OP)
gavin is a piece of shit who has always chased presidency over doing his actual job

however, desperate times call for desperate measures

>>40826299
yk the republicans want us dead right, im down for someone with a chance at winning that probably wont push legislation against us and probably will rescind a lot of the negative executive orders against us

>>40826290
he's cutting funding and he's gotten on board with the idea that trannies are why the left lost, specifically due to the women's sports issue - he has already thrown us under the bus

https://lalgbtcenter.org/vanguard/press-releases/statement-governor-newsom-betrays-queer-and-transgender-californians-with-health-budget-cuts-says-los-angeles-lgbt-center/

I just wonder how devoid of substance your unemployed life has to if the single issue you're voting on is whether or not your overweight tranny ass can play sports with women because everything and everyone must constantly reinforce your belief that you are literally 100% the same as cis women

What if literally everything in your life didn't revolve around your trannyhood? Have you considered that?

>>40826338
>he's gotten on board with the idea that trannies are why the left lost
but that's literally true. it was empirically proven that the entire election was decided by the republicans running one ad.

astroturfer, or did you fall for the rhetoric?

>>40826156
Right-wing psyop as in the right is trying to turn us against Newsom who is on our side.
They are trying to paint him as anti tranny when he is not because they want to weaken his hand

>>40826345
fuck off gavin

>>40826345
>just let us remove your identity
fuck off nigger

>>40826299
JD Vance is fat and his family is brown. They are FUCKING indian

Gavin Newsom is Chad, tall, Aryan, and obviously a Nietzschean sociopath.

You cannot find pictures of Newsom at the western wall wearing one of those stupid jew hats

I support trump and I won't support a fat Indian Jew!

>>40826338
There were cuts across the board in CA due to the budgeting. If he took it all out out of lgbt services, you might have a point. A lot of good shit got cut, but that's what happens when you have natural disasters and a federal government who hates you

>>40826338
So no actual legislation then?

>Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 132, The Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act, legislation that will allow incarcerated transgender, non-binary and intersex people to be housed and searched in a manner consistent with their gender identity. The new law will become effective Jan. 1, 2021.

>Governor Gavin Newsom today signed legislation strengthening protections for LGBTQ+ Californians, including a measure to track the effects of COVID-19 on the community, a bill establishing the Transgender and Wellness Equity Fund and a bill requiring the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to house transgender, gender-nonconforming and intersex (TGI) individuals in a manner that matches their gender identity while supporting health and safety.

>California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Thursday that aims to legally protect transgender youths and their parents if they flee conservative states that have restricted access to gender-affirming care. The bill seeks to “offer refuge” to trans minors and their families “if they’re being criminalized in their home states,” state Sen. Scott Wiener, who introduced the bill, said on Twitter after Newsom signed it. Wiener said states like Texas and Alabama “are seeking to tear these families apart,” referring to efforts in both states to bar parents from providing their trans children with medical care like puberty blockers and hormone therapy.

>Transgender Youth Privacy Act, or AB 223, is a California law that went into effect on January 1, 2024, requiring courts to seal petitions for minors seeking to change their gender or sex identifier. The goal is to protect transgender youth from being outed, harassed, bullied, or exposed to violence by preventing online access to these documents.

Woah, just like Donald Trump right? And this could have been a longer post

>>40826908
why sit down with charlie kirk and agree with him on everything regarding trans people then

>>40825978
>fuck tweakers idc get a job
You just offended the majority of trans women

I wish sanders or AOC would run in 2028

>>40826400
this is the most important fact

Establishment democrats pandering to center right desperately trying to hold onto the status quo

What these geniuses simply do not realize is half of americans do not want status quo they want civil war and fascism

We are already dead

>>40826934
Everyone has retard moments. My point was to stop false equivalence rather than saying that he's an ideal candidate. He seems to have switched his strategy from cucking out to fighting and it's delivering results. And not voting for him (if he makes it to the general, do as you wish in the primaries) or not acknowledging and appreciating what those politicians have done for you is just silly. He could have been much worse both in rhetoric and policy, same goes for imperfect cishet lib allies who could have decided to be bigots like Republicans.

>>40826934
>you spoke to a hecking bad person!!
God you people are insufferable. Kys yourself at your earliest convenience

>>40827205
They didn't say "he platformed fascists" or something like that. Just that he was conceding on everything. Fuck off.
t. anon they replied to

>>40827205
what was accomplished by talking to charlie kirk? democrats thought it was bad and republicans saw it as not genuine. charlie kirk said as much calling him the “fakest person he’d ever met”.

>>40827156
ur probably right yeah i just hope we have some better options by 2028

and yes I would vote Gavin Newsom if he was the nominee, but at this point I will literally vote anyone who is the Democratic nominee in order to get the orange turd out. that doesn't mean I think he should be the nominee. I think JB Pritzker would be a good president.

>>40825868 (OP)
I don't care, losing a bit of ground on issues that dont really matter like sports is fine as long as we're not being criminalized or put in camps

>>40827226
"Conceding everything" here of course meaning that Democrats constantly adopting new widely unpopular positions from a never ending list of retarded activist demands might not be electorally sustainable

But no it's a Human Rights Violation to not immediately cave into Activist Demand #1823 that 80% of the voting population thinks is fucking stupid

>>40827250
The indignant "we don't associate with fascists!!" attitude might have made sense when they weren't in charge. Doing it in 2025 however means that you're just retracting into a smaller and smaller purity bubble and can enjoy Republican majorities for the next half a century

>>40827277
So true sis trannies existing is unpopular kill yourself to fulfill democracy

>>40827333
>motte: we just want to exist why do you hate us
>bailey: trans women ARE women and self-identification should be enough to join women's MMA chud, why do you want to strip our human rights?

>>40827321
why would people vote for a party that offers what they want but watered down? rather than the party that just offers what they want? the democratic party already tried to win over centrist republicans with the harris/walz campaign and it did not work

>>40827277
>adopting new widely unpopular positions
you unspeakable moron, the only unpopular positions from the 2024 platform was two of them moving right wing on death penalty and Free 4-Year College being omitted. Israeli-Palestine platform was the only widely unpopular one and I can tell you, the Republican platform was worse on it.

>>40827393
I don't care what ChatGPT thinks

>>40827360
>the democratic party already tried to win over centrist republicans with the harris/walz campaign and it did not work
ELECTIONS ARE NOT WON BY CENTRISTS OR PARTY SWITCHERS IT IS WON BY MASS MOBILIZATION OF YOUR CORE BASE, MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATS DID NOT VOTE IN 2024 OVER PALESTINE, IT IS SUICIDAL TO DEMOCRATS TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ISRAEL

>>40827443
>MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATS DID NOT VOTE IN 2024 OVER PALESTINE
This did not happen by the way

>>40827460
>Democratic votes declined by approximately 10 million, from 81 million in 2020 to 71 million in 2024. Analysis points to a combination of issues—including Gaza—that may have depressed turnout.
