From the article: "These days, you might know Gavin Newsom as the latest Bay Area white guy to start a podcast. In his spare time, however, he’s the Governor of California.

"In both of these capacities, the historically LGBT-friendly lawmaker has arguably been taking steps, if not leaps and bounds, towards a more reactionary, hostile political line. Anti-trans lawmakers and activists have taken notice, and it’s emboldened them to push their gender extremist agenda onto the masses of one of the country’s most liberal states.

"Last month, Newsom came under fire for hosting far-right extremist Charlie Kirk on an episode of his podcast, “This is Gavin Newsom,” where he said he “completely aligns” with some of Kirk’s views on trans athletes. This week, the Governor was cited no fewer than eight times by anti-trans lawmakers and advocates in a committee hearing on California’s sports bills. If passed, the laws would require schools and the state’s governing sports body to discriminate against transgender athletes."

California Republicans Cite Gavin Newsom In Trans Athlete Ban Hearing

Newsom has denounced what he calls the GOP’s “weaponization” of trans issues, but this evidently hasn’t stopped him from using it as a tool himself.
