Democrat candidates, like Gov. Hairgel Newsom, who have spent the better part of the last decade championing so-called “trans rights” (and kicking women and girls to the curb) are now trying to present a ‘moderate’ position to voters while trying to mollify Trans activists.

Please pass the popcorn.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, has recently come under fire for his moderation on transgender policy, despite having positioned himself as a staunch LGBTQ+ ally throughout his tenure and signing dozens of bills aimed at increasing protections for LGBTQ+, and specifically, trans Californians.

Last year on his podcast, Newsom spoke with right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, saying that letting trans women and girls compete on sports teams reflective of their gender identity is “deeply unfair.” He’s since defended and repeated this sentiment.

This is Salon, of course, squarely in the Leftwing corner and refusing to understand that women and girls’ sports are not a consolation prize for mediocre male athletes. And while the social contagion of “Trans” lead to grifters, perverts, and ideological radicals capturing a good chunk of the culture, it turns out that when kids are harmed, normies take notice.

Ruh-roh.

Newsom’s rightward creep on trans rights stems from that existing strategy for Democrats, one that’s quickly failing the party, said John Neffinger, a Democratic strategist and political consultant at Democracy Partners.

“For years, Democrats’ messaging on transgender rights was either evasive — which suggested there was some problem there Democrats couldn’t deal with — or accusatory — which suggested Democrats thought anyone who had concerns about how transgender issues were being handled was ignorant or bigoted,” he told Salon. “Running away from problems and looking down on people are not what people want from their government.”

Make no mistake, Democrats “moderating” their stance of Trans rights supremacy in the law is calculated, not sincere.

Democrats in the Senate last month blocked an amendment of the contentious voting identification bill, the SAVE America Act, that sought to bar transgender athletes in women’s sports.

We witnessed the spectacle of KY Gov. Andy Beshear proclaiming that the medical mutilation and sterilization of children in the name of Trans is God-like compassion.

So, no. Democrats haven’t had an epiphany that maybe Drag Shows for kids and lopping the healthy breasts off 16-year-old girls might not be a good thing. They’re just gaslighting for the votes. To put the icing on the cake …

Republican attacks of transgender rights issues, then, are “more about Democrats than they are about transgender people,” (John Neffinger) added. “No amount of Republican spending or campaigning will make most non-trans Americans feel that transgender rights policies are important to their daily lives.”

We are back at this isn’t really happening stage in Leftwing gaslighting. You only notice because those dastardly Republicans are blowing this up all out of proportion! Trans policies aren’t important to normies — don’t notice when boys take girls’ athletic records, female inmates are raped by trans-identifying males in women’s prisons, and please don’t notice mass shootings done by trans.

Nope, doesn’t affect your daily life at all, normie. Not.one.bit.

That’s the ticket.

Democrats are stuck with the Trans madness. Remember in November.
