In a recent podcast episode, California Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his opposition to transgender women and girls competing in female sports, aligning himself with conservative views on the matter. His comments come amid a larger discussion within the Democratic Party regarding cultural issues and their impact on electoral outcomes. Newsom noted the issue of fairness in sports, a position he believes resonates with the majority of Americans, including many within his party, despite the increasing visibility of transgender rights in sports discussions.
I think it's an issue of fairness, I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness - it's deeply unfair, Newsom told Kirk.
I am not wrestling with the fairness issue, continued Newsom, who played varsity baseball as a college student. I totally agree with you. I revere sports.
Overall, polling suggests that allowing transgender female athletes to play on women's teams isn't broadly popular. Even most Democrats, around 7 in 10, oppose allowing transgender female athletes to participate in women's sports.
Kirk, like Trump, has been a vocal opponent of allowing transgender women and girls to participate, highlighting the cultural disagreements faced by Democrats.
