California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a pioneer for LGBTQ+ rights who decades ago upset leaders in his own party when he defied state law and issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples, suggested Democrats were in the wrong in allowing transgender athletes to participate in female college and youth sports.

As a cis woman, keep our names out of your mouth. More of us embrace trans people than not.

Yeah maybe the ones that don't play any sports.

Of course you have no issue with something that has no direct effect on you as a person.

The women who play sports and who have lost out on scholarships or chances at the top level spots in the sport they have dedicated their lives to because of a trans athlete showing up in the final hour and trouncing them do absolutely take issue with it.

Good thing that doesn't happen, unless said trans athlete has also been working hard

Try harder at transphobia next time

Literally happens all the time. I'm not even going to bother linking you sources because it's happened so many times now.

I also never really cared for the term "transphobia". I'm not afraid of trans people. I think they are humans that deserve love and respect like anyone else. I just don't agree with all their talking points and I don't think they should have blanket access to every sports league just because they have deluded themselves into believing they are actually the same as biological women or men.

Yet you are afraid of them having equal rights due to bullshit nonexistent reasons, and are thus a transphobe

No better than homophobes before you. History will laugh at pathetic dipshits like you, cunt

I can promise you I am not afraid of them or them having rights as members of our society.

I hope you have a good night.
