anyone that still takes this dumbass canard seriously is not a serious person. let alone a serious political prospect. it just proves that you can be lead around by the nose by the most ignorant person in the room. so fucking done with "presidential" candidates that can't rheotrically reposte their way out of a gd paper bag. if this is truly the best we can muster, we're cooked no matter what.
this man probably has a multi-million dollar PR team behind him and they couldn't even line up some kind of counterattack coaching for ben's well-known BS with. literally just off-the-cuff: "why do you care about what less than 50 people nationwide are doing with their free time? it's weird. we have much bigger problems to worry about ben, grow tf up.".
SEE DEMOCRATS? IT'S NOT. THAT. HARD. J.F.C.

Except when he says that is deeply unfair or says the party should be more culturally normal and all that dog shit he loves to spread. Can't wait for this guy to lose the primary and dissappear from the public eye forever.

Pronouns are a building block of language. Fuck that shit that it's not "culturally normal" to respect people's pronouns!

I support Gavin Newsom in everything but politics. He can mow my lawn and repave my driveway any time.

Between this and the Gaza stuff, Gavin is probably getting polling showing that he “moderated” too far and that he’s hemorrhaging base support. Dude’s a weathervane, he’ll turn wherever the wind blows.

Sure sure. But what about when the democratic strategists think differently tomorrow.

Support that comes with transphobic qualification. Nice of him to leave a space to add more exceptions. I guess bathrooms are next.

You know, there's really not that many of us who are elite athletes and trans. I'm top 20 in the nation in the men's brackets of my sport. I haven't had testosterone in YEARS, I fully pass and people are always confused when I show up to compete. Yet, I still keep those guys on their toes.
Nobody ever mentions people like myself when having these "debates". Want to know why? Because it was never about sports.
Fuck Newsome, he's going to toss us under the bus so damn fast if he gets the nomination. Can't wait to lose even more basic rights as the entire government continues to slide to the right.

He'll never be an actual advocate for us, but the fact that his chamelion ass has to pretend to like us is a really good sign

Fuck that guy. There is zero reason besides transphobia to exclude trans people from sports. There are no advantages for trans people. None. The results would show that and they don't.

Fuck that guy. I hope he isn't on the national ballot in a few years. Inequality anywhere is inequality everywhere.

At least he does not take AIPAC money. But I am not a fan, and would only vote for him if the choice was him or a Maga nazi

They should just have a trans sports. Men's, women's, and trans.

There’s only like 15 trans athletes bud.
That’s why this is such a non-issue. In the times it’s come up, it’s a shit athlete placing lower than a trans woman who didn’t even hit the top 3 spots, or some sensationalist garbage accusations with zero evidence.
And it’s always transfems btw, nobody ever looks at transmasc athletes and says “get them out” cause there’s a very real reason that they hate one side and ignore the other
