Khanna disagrees w/ Newsom on trans kids: "I was perplexed by the governor, because he supported a law in CA in 2013 that says trans kids do get to participate in sports ... is he saying we need to repeal it? I believe that law has worked in CA and I don't think there should be a federal ban."

I hate the right has turned this into a thing.

I’ll make a soft bet that he switches to be independent within the next year - to keep his tech oligarch backers

Also, @repmoskowitz.bsky.social, fuck you for standing up for republicans and not @algreen.house.gov.
Stop BS purity tests!
🇺🇸 : you’re bleeding to death and you’re worried that your pimple makes you look fat.
My fault
Cisgender people are not affected by the policies - significantly or even at all - either way. These policies exist only to harass, traumatize, and "other" trans people.
Maybe you can bring up the fact that Trump is a traitor working for the Russians. There’s plenty of evidence to support this accusation. 🤔

Is it because they aren’t there? Or is because they don’t see you as an ally.
Stripping rights from anyone is *pure* evil.
I guess their kind can't sense each other.
This would eliminate a 6'1" trans female competing against 5'4" CIS female athletes, for example.
Problem solved!
and *all* sports? dont you think thats extremelt excessive and discriminatory? these same people want to sex segregate trans women out of professional darts or chess
this whole argument ALSO completely ignores trans men, as always. what about them?
For any sport where size/weight/strength play a key role, it's illogical to allow ANY trans person of any sex 2 participate when that individual could have an overwhelming advantage over all other participants.
OBVIOUSLY competing in non-physically demanding sports like chess or bowling wouldn't apply.
It's the "other" they always use as scapegoats for ALL their issues.
And they use culture wars to deflect against their class war!
Where is the democratic party leader who unites all the democrats, in one voice, against the Christian Nazi Party and its Führer, Donald Trump?
The democrats have no leader. They are useless and lost, right now.
As someone who has historically been highly opposed to AOC on economic policy, and numerous other policies, I will rally behind AOC. She’s the bravest, she’s the sharpest, she’s the leader.
I’d give Schiff a nomination - the first impeachment was really brave - but he’s too lawyerly.
Trans women are women and do not have an advantage, as established by multiple studies over more than 2 decades
Republicans hate him
They will never vote for him
I know CA republicans, never ever
Now Dems won’t vote for him
Another feckless fool
Political illiteracy.
The real problem is that mass media pushes lies of omission while denying us any opportunity for defense, simple or otherwise.
Keep this rediculous story of how Dems support “fringe” issues that hurt them.
At a state or national level who cares about Trans kids in sports?
There are dilemmas with safe and fair sporting competition between people who went through male puberty and female athletes.
He is extremely anti-trans.
How does Khanna square that?!
The people sponsoring anti-trans legislation have never had the best interests of trans people at heart.
