If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.
Elon Musk's transphobia is going to endanger us all, and not just in trans rights, because he actively meddles in public discourse with his ownership of Twitter.
That's why everyone should get off it. Really people are just staying because muh followers
Exactly. Mastodon is right there.
Imagine hating your own child this much over who they are. Conservatives are truly a virus.
One of the problems of being fabulously rich is the lack of practice of accepting things you cannot change. When you're affluent enough, not even a billionaire, services come out of the woodwork to curb your renegade kids and other family issues. (In which the problem is always other people, not you.) It's now conversion therapy services and abduction camps make their profit.
It's also fuels companies that make security measures to combat time theft which is essentially human workers doing normal human things they have to do to function, but on company time. (The opposite of time theft, wage theft costs our economy more than all petty crime combined.)
Intolerance is the mind virus.
Could you call this cognitive dissonance? It's no secret that Musk is a control freak and once he learned his child changed genders, his first reaction was to make up a "mind virus" (whatever the fuck that means) to blame.
I'm so glad my daughter is coincidentally also named Vivian. It's a beautiful name for any woman.
What an absolute piece of shit. Fuck this guy. I would never do this to my child.
Any reasonable person would accept their daughter as who they are. Elon Musk is not reasonable.
I hope Vivian is happy finally being able to be herself in her new life away from this fucking psychopath. I wish her nothing but a beautiful future. <3
the thing about having enough $$$ is that you never have to accept reality and can keep fucking up other's peoples lives so long as you have enough $$$ and this guy has more $$$ than anyone else; i'm sure that musk's daughter is in hell rn because of it.
He's not just wrong and dumb, he's an asshole.
Jesus fucking christ, he has so much money that he has the ability to make his inability to accept that his kid is trans the entire fucking world’s problem.
Ruined Twitter because he’s a giant piss baby that can’t deal with his kid telling him “No, I won’t do what you say and you can’t force me to.”
Capitalism is the fucking best, let me tell you what.
