Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Trans people continue to be very worried about US politics despite the blue wave. In Washington and Colorado the trans sports ban is ahead. In Colorado the trans youth healthcare ban is ahead. A lot of the transphobic democrats are doing OK vote wise.
The very real risk here is that trans rights continue to backslide even under a democratic congress or, two years from now, a democratic congress and executive branch.
So while the transgender for everyone memes are appreciated, we're not out of the woods yet. Liberals are also susceptible to anti-trans propaganda and boy howdy there has been a lot of it.
All that said: the trans council does not bestow the honor of transition on Musk. He must remain cis and miserable.
While I have absolutely no hope in democrats or liberals for meaningfully supporting trans people, I would love to be proven wrong.
