As I am disappointed, but not surprised, by Newsom today, I can't help but think that not one of these appeasing quislings has the courage to look an actual trans high-school girl in her face and say "no. *you* should not be able to play lacrosse. *you* should not be allowed to join the swim team". It's always a hypothetical debate about a hypothetical trans child with a smug adult cis grifter.
They are afraid to even face the children that they want to harm. It is embarrassing and disgusting.
