How hard is it to say something like this on the trans issue?

"I think there is legitimate discussion on the issue of trans women in sports but that discussion is more appropriate at the school and sports level. Instead, I feel your side is taking an issue that has no baring on the lives of 99% of this country and using it to attack, marginalize and dehumanize trans people. In fact, I question the sincerity of the right's argument supporting women sports considering their history of opposing Title IX and funding for women's sports."

Newsom let Kirk control the narrative. He ceded a lot of ground on his podcast today and that's not only insulting to trans people - it's insulting in general. This was not the same Newsom who debated DeSantis a couple years ago. I'm very disappointed in his not only platforming Kirk but also letting Kirk completely own the trans debate.
