Gavin Newsom usually fights for equality. He failed to help trans kids with his recent veto. #disappointed #Transgender
I agree with this VE article that #transgender woman athletes should be allowed to compete just like other woman athletes. Prejudice-based banning of trans athletes or subjecting them to inhumane treatment is immoral.

It is a complex issue, but we must show sympathy and support for trans kids

A "female" is a "woman". The word #woman has meaning and has behavioral protections which we must keep (ex: non-transitioned male with genitalia should not be in a woman's locker room).
There are other ways to show empathy and be accepting with the #trans movement, but there are limits when they start infringing on women's rights.

Parents should know, and have the right to know about their kids wanting to use different pronouns. You can have compassion for #trans kids, but don't disrespect and diminish the role of parents in a household. #ParentsRights

What Barkley said about support for #trans community is good, including making fun of those that have a problem with #BudLight.
But, notice Barkley did not say anything about biological males that are now trans competing in women's sports. You can support trans rights and have empathy, but also respect the need for biological women to have their own category for sports. It is a nuanced situation (not black and white) which we should have compassion and rationale for different situations.

Absolutely! It's important to approach issues like this with empathy and support, irrespective of political affiliations. Trans kids deserve the same love, respect, and opportunities as anyone else. Let's not turn a blind eye to their struggles; instead, let's stand up for their rights and help create a more accepting society.❤️🏳️⚧️

I agree that it's important to acknowledge and protect women's rights in shared spaces such as locker rooms. While it's crucial to be accepting and understanding of the trans movement, we must also ensure that the comfort and safety of women are not compromised.
