The California governor is earning meteoric goodwill with the digital world, but will the kerfuffle leave transgender Americans in the rearview mirror?
Here’s an assertion I have about politics and law. Politicians and legislation can at best be only slightly ahead of the public on any cultural issue because otherwise the public will reject the change and opposing forces will overwhelm it. For example, rights for newly freed black citizens were fought with violence and then will local legislation.
The writing and podcasting and educating you do is what will create a safe and equitable environment for trans Americans, not laws or regulations. Culture is changed by millions of little conversations and experiences. At best Newsom or Buttigieg can just nudge the public forward which in this case may look like letting local communities decide the rules for their sports leagues.
Tremendous work! My spouse was just ranting newsom has turned against trans- —but in my ostrich mode, I didn’t believe her. But you’ve confirmed it. He was stepping up when other dems are acting milk- toasty! You nailed it. And that hug?! I love how you paralleled it to nick and Gatsby! Of course always an English teacher!
A few peers have asked if hiding is really what I meant? I am active in the Sandoval county Democratic Party meetings and do some canvassing and cold- calling for Dems/ liberals… i often consider could I run for an office ? But.
Love your writing.

Damn you’re getting me in my feelings this morning 😭
That’s good right?
Yes
Good. And thanks again for your beautiful words
Any liberal who would give away trans rights, in hopes of saving their own..
1, is not truly liberal, brave, and/or American🤡🤷♂️
2, is as dense as the rump and his humpers😉🙃
Because anyway with a brain can tell you it never stops at the easiest persecutions, it’ll keep going until everyone is under the bus with us
This is exactly the piece I need to share when people ask me why I don’t trust Newsom has trans people’s best interest at heart. Well done!

Supporting a politician with your vote (or financial backing) is not a valentine, it’s a chess move. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
I love this so much- the PowerPuff Girls reference really sealed the deal for me 😂
Summer soldier.
His team's excellent trolling of Trump doesn't get him a bye on trans rights.
