California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) recently reaffirmed his support for transgender youth during an appearance on The Ezra Klein Show. Discussing trans women in sports, Newsom emphasized that his stance comes from personal conviction, noting that he has a transgender godchild and “wants to see trans kids.”
Despite growing public debate on the issue following the 2024 election, Newsom is maintaining a strong pro-transgender position. “We didn’t get into trans sports. That’s an issue no one wants to hear about because 80 percent of the people listening disagree with my position on this,” Newsom said. “But it comes from my heart, not just my head. It wasn’t a political evolution.”

Newsom also criticized President Donald Trump, calling him “one of the most destructive presidents and human beings” of his lifetime. Reflecting on his own political future, the governor described himself as the “future ex-governor” who has to face his children “in the god**** eye.”
Even better than “friends with school shooters”.

When asked about his legislative record, Newsom highlighted his efforts on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community. “I have a trans godson,” he said. “There’s no governor that’s done more pro-trans legislation than I have. No one has been a stronger advocate for the LGBTQ community.”
