"Not all states track legislation this way, and most national groups track state by state but not by governor. But based on LGBTQ+ group Equality California's database of legislation it has backed, plus The Advocate's reporting, we count 47 pro-LGBTQ+ bills Newsom has signed into law since taking office in 2019, of which 21 specifically benefited transgender people. Most of the generally pro-LGBTQ+ bills benefit trans people as well."
"Among the specifically pro-trans bills are one making California a sanctuary state for out-of-state young people and their families seeking gender-affirming care; one preventing teachers from being forced to out trans students to their families; several addressing name and gender changes on official documents, either easing the process, assuring usage, or protecting confidentiality; and one requiring single-user restrooms to be labeled all-gender."
Gavin Newsom has signed more pro-trans legislation than any governor and has a trans godson. Equality California's database and The Advocate credit 47 pro-LGBTQ+ bills signed since 2019, 21 of which specifically benefited transgender people. Not all states track legislation by governor, and most national groups track state-by-state rather than by governor. Pro-trans measures include making California a sanctuary for out-of-state youth seeking gender-affirming care, preventing teachers from being forced to out students, easing name and gender changes on official documents, and requiring single-user restrooms to be labeled all-gender. Some pro-trans bills were vetoed pending a state study of health curricula.
