They're 80% of the population of the state, that's why "they run the whole damn show". Overrepresentation has nothing to do with it.That's something non-Californians need to understand. San Francisco Bay Area (including Silicon Valley and East Bay) and Los Angeles-Inland Empire are overpopulated and overrepresented shitholes, basically modern manifestations of Sodom and Gomorrah. They run the whole damn show, partly because the rest of the state is relatively normal and has even parts rural conservatism and urban tolerance. You only ever see news from two large cities in California, and they're dragging the rest of the state down with them.
States undergoing a major political and demographic shift tend to be more extreme than states that have already gone through it. Colorado was a solidly red state 20 years ago (they went for Clinton in 1992 because Perot split the vote, allowing Clinton to win with just 40%).Is it me or has Colorado become California levels of insane? Even in blue states like New York, I posted at least some push back against TRA madness. I know Californians fled the state for Colorado but I didn't think it was this bad.
The laws that are usually cited as protecting trannies usually (to my knowledge, always) do so under the category of gender identity. Now, ignoring the fact that the existence of gender identity has never been proven, I never understood how it gives them the right to women-only spaces or gender-affirming care. Saying that males who identify as women can't go into the women's room isn't discriminating based on their gender identity, it's based on their sex. Actually, only allowing males in on the basis of them identifying as women is discrimination based on gender identity. Same for procedures like hysterectomies being available for teenage girls only if they identify as men (or nonbinary).
I do think that these laws would protect trannies from being discriminated against for being trans in cases where sex is not a relevant factor. For example, if I was hiring a man but refused because he was wearing a dress, or Trump's military executive order banning trannies from the military. But in 90% of complaints about "transphobia", it's just someone not affirming their alleged gender identity which is not discrimination based on gender identity, it's a complete indifference to their gender identity.
