The depressing thing i fear is that polling on trans rights must be bad enough that some dems feel this is a position that benefits them. Newsom seems to think it benefits him, slimy amoral scumbag that he is. The dems don't want to accept any responsiblity for the perception that they're not meaningfully different from fascists, but they also want to throw trans people to the wolves when they're already one of the most murdered groups in society.
