Newsom vetoed a bill that would allow #trans people to stockpile 12 months of hormone replacement meds, which would protect us from current Federal threats.

And that is a problem to me. I want representatives who are going to speak up and fight against the attacks on us.

He's a piece of garbage because he vetoed to pro-trans bills, he supports restricting trans people's ability to play in sports leagues, he gave a anti-trans conservative a platform on his podcast, he sends police to raid homeless camps, and because he's always been garbage

And of course because he's garbage, Newsom vetoed SB 418, which would have added protections against discrimination based on intersex traits, gender, and pregnancy

Apparently he had through today. Newsom signs 5 pro trans bills at the last minute, but these are very important protections.

Includes allowing people to seal name/gender change records and removes the hearing period from the process

At least there's that. Though there's no excuse for delaying it this long either

He has until midnight tonight to sign. The earlier reporting was wrong. The deadline is 30 days from the end of the session (which was extended to the 13th).

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

Government Newsom had 11 #trans rights bills on his desk to sign by the 12th. He vetoed one and ignored the other 10.

They go into law without his signature, it just shows that he's a transphobic POS not fit to serve in office.

It feels like the entire Democrat party decided to go silent on trans rights this year.

They kept saying defense of our rights was hurting them and now when the attacks are coming more frequently than ever, Democrats are nowhere to be seen.

When Trump issued an official report calling our Healthcare mutilation, there was no national response.

When they issued an executive order to ban gender change on passports, there was no national response from her

When they called us terrorists, there was no national response.

I have regularly looked for statements from her directly addressing the attacks on us, including even just looking at her social media posts for anything.

She used to mention trans rights and then she went silent after last year, when now we're being attacked weekly.

TransLives 🏳️‍⚧️ @translives.bsky.social · 1d

That isn't addressing any of the attacks or legislation on us. That is answering someone's question on what they can do to help.

I want her to openly defend us against the attacks happening weekly.

She's put out statements and videos against other things, but why not attacks on us?

Good news for transgender people at MIT.

Unlike some prestigious universities, MIT has defied the Trump administration and refused its attempt to pressure the university into banning transgender people from bathrooms.

Ten months of attacks on trans rights without a word from AOC and now the best she can say is that people shouldn't be mean to trans people around her?

The hell?
