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.

"Some of you trans folk will die but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!"

Exactly. That's why we have to oppose Newsom. Liberals love him because even though he'll kill some trans folks, he'll slightly raise income taxes on billionaires (who don't earn their money through ordinary income anyway.)

Newsom will not reverse any of Trump's anti-trans policies. That's what this comes down to for me. I changed my passport years ago, and had the foresight to renew it before Trump came to power. So our passports are good through the second Trump term. But I will have to renew my passport during the next term, and under current policies, the gender marker on my passport will be reverted to an "M."

Newsom will not change this policy. Why would he? He doesn't consider trans rights worth fighting for. He won't help trans people if there's the slightest chance of it making him unpopular among bigots.

So, Newsom or JD Vance (or whatever Republican)? Ultimately both of those people are going to deeply hurt me as a trans person. With Vance, there's at least a chance of things getting better in 2032. With Newsom? I won't get my rights back until I die of old age.

Again, you need to think more than one cycle ahead.
