Retract your transphobic comments now!
To: Gov. Newsom
From: A verified voter in Colton, CA
March 6, 2025
I heard about your disparaging remarks towards trans athletes on your podcast with Charlie Kirk, and I want to say that I'm outraged. Trans people should be able to participate in athletic sports, and denying them that is unethical and unconscionable. We're living in a moment in history where our country is being taken over by fascists and oligarchs, and trans people need more support than ever as their existence is continuing to be threatened by the far right. Do not legitimize transphobia. Do not give a platform to hate. Do not be on the wrong side of history on this matter. Do not throw trans people under the bus. Trans rights are human rights. If you do not retract your deplorable comments, you have lost my vote for any future election you run in.
