California said it will set up a safety net to protect transgender youth if the federal government won’t. A state budget just signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom includes $26 million in one-time funding to protect access to healthcare for trans youth, according to LAist. Another $30 million was budgeted to cover funding gaps for providers after the Trump administration cut funding to the state’s Medi-Cal program and other revenue sources.

Telling a trans woman she doesn't belong in a trans inclusive space just because she doesn't share your raging hate boner for a milquetoast politician is something.

[-] decolo@piefed.social 14 points 1 day ago

wait. you just made up a fake guy to be mad about. everyone is saying maybe don't put this one politician on a pedestal and your reaction is "oh so you hate him"

maybe explain how this is good faith dialogue or go shout at some other wall somewhere else.

You're literally not acting in good faith yourself. You're trying to disingenuously reframe all these people nitpicking things like going on a podcasts as "not putting someone on a pedestal"

I don't even like Newsome. I'm just taking the piss in an echo chamber.

So you agree with Newsom that trans people shouldn't be allowed in certain parts of our society?

Ok. So what's baffling to me is how you're defending a politician that wants to exclude both of us from parts of society. Newsom is a shiftless liar that only stands for himself, but let's say that he's honest and firm about this one aspect of his political career, and won't move any further right on this topic.

He's going to ban all of us from participating in sports. Republicans won't stop there, and will use the momentum to further oppress us. Ceding to Newsom will directly result in further oppression of us.
