Fitness influencer Jillian Michaels expressed her decision to leave California due to the extreme Left-wing policies in the state.
Michaels criticized the laws passed under Governor Gavin Newsom, highlighting concerns about decriminalization without regulation, particularly in issues like sex work.
“I grew up here. I’m a woman. I’m a gay woman. My mom’s a Jew. My dad’s an Arab. I have a black kid. And believe it or not, my son is half Latin, even though he doesn’t look like it,” she said.
“I hold a million cards in your game of woke victimology poker. And when I leave California, maybe you’ve lost your [expletive] mind. Just maybe! When you have me running from home, maybe it’s gone way too far.”
She strongly opposed controversial transgender procedures for minors, emphasizing the need for caution and waiting until a child’s body is fully developed before irreversible changes are made.
Michaels voiced her frustration with the state’s direction and emphasized the importance of safety and thoughtful decision-making in such matters.
“In relation to crime, protecting our kids, like, we’re decriminalizing everything, which arguably I would probably be okay with, but we’re not regulating any of it,” she said.
“So it’s like, okay, you’re gonna decriminalize sex work, but only so women can loiter on the streets, not to keep them safe, not to have them pay taxes, not to make them, you know, regularly check for STDs, not to take away the pimps out of the equation.”
“The fact that a 12-year-old child can be put on off-label cancer drugs to irreparably change their body,” she said. “If my son came to me and said, ‘Mom’ — or my daughter — ‘I think I’m trans,’ I’d say, okay, you know, like, you want to dress this way, you want me to call you whatever the heck you want, dress, fine. Explore it. I love you. I’m cool, do you as long as we’re safe, but we’re not changing your body until it’s fully developed. I’m sorry. Conversation’s over. Can’t get a [expletive] tattoo!”
