Gavin Newsom says he's lost friends for saying biological men participating in women's sports is unfair

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom revealed Friday that he has lost friends over his recent comments about the unfairness of biological men competing in women's sports.

"I lost some good friends, like, I mean, they're just, they won't talk to me," Newsom said during an episode of his podcast, "This is Gavin Newsom," with talk show host Dr. Phil.

"They're done and, you know, I appreciate they felt hurt. They felt that point of view was, you know, somehow diminishing," Newsom added.
