In a recent podcast, California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the participation of transgender athletes in women's sports, aligning with Republican views on the issue. This episode featured a conversation with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, focusing on the political vulnerabilities for Democrats post-2020 elections. Newsom also distanced himself from aspects of 'wokeness,' revealing a desire to connect with a broader national audience ahead of a possible 2028 presidential run. His remarks sparked backlash from LGBTQ+ rights advocates.
Assemblymember Christopher M. Ward (D-San Diego), chair of the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus, expressed his deep frustration, stating, "This is an incredibly rare circumstance, where somebody who is trans is being punished for not being a cis competitor."
