I really wish Gavin Newsom would stop being transphobic so I could appreciate when he actually does good for people.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago (13 children)

Is he actively, continuously transphobic, or was it just that time everyone talks about? One time is too many, but there are way worse folks for sure. I don't really follow Californian politics though

I believe there have been 3 different instances this year but i'll be honest with you im tired and dont feel like looking and vetting sources. Feel free to look it up on your own.

I absolutely feel you and it's why I am grateful for the other response. Googling Gavin Newsom transphobic is just an energy drain for me at this point. I believe it, that sucks. Pretty big "one thing" poison pill
