If he was going around saying 25 year old women are too young to make decisions about abortion, I wonder if he’d have such diehard lib support. Bodily autonomy is bodily autonomy.
Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?
I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.
