Democrats splinter over trans rights, DEI
Briefly

Some Democrats are increasingly questioning the party's stances on transgender rights and DEI programs, considering them possible political liabilities. This divide is evident among key figures like California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who remarked on a podcast that transgender women in sports is "deeply unfair," resonating with GOP rhetoric. This has led to concerns within the party about balancing principle against pragmatism, especially after last year's election struggles. Advocacy groups stress the importance of supporting vulnerable communities instead of abandoning core values for electoral gain.
The path to 2028 isn't paved with the betrayal of vulnerable communities. It's built on the courage to stand up for what's right, and do the hard work to actually help the American people.
Newsom's remark regarding transgender women and girls playing in women's sports stung many progressives as a betrayal.
