Excluding an entire swath of people.
>Is he unable to work with other team members because of his opinions?
Any future or current trans members of the Opal team who are or would be dissuaded away from a bigot.
- KingMob 11y agoDon't forget that while trans developers are probably incredibly rare, the amount of trans-accepting developers who might be dissuaded is probably higher, and likely to grow.
- chazu 11y agoAnecdotally it seems to me that the percentage of developers who are trans is actually higher than in the general populace. I'd be curious to see statistics though.
- joshuapants 11y ago> Excluding an entire swath of people. That's interesting, you must have read different tweets than I did. > Any future or current trans members of the Opal team who are or would be dissuaded away from a bigot. In the string of tweets, the only abrasive behavior I saw came from Kurtis, not Elia. I don't think it's accurate to paint Elia as a bigot, though I don't agree with him. edit: I can't reply to your post, but it's worth noting: > He straight up says Transgender people are insane. No, he didn't "straight up" say anything like that. You put those words in his mouth in your next post by appending a fragment of his post to your own interpretation of those words.
- krainboltgreene 11y agoHe straight up says Transgender people are insane. How the hell is that not bigoted? > That's interesting, you must have read different tweets than I did. I'm reading reams of tweets saying transgender people refuse to work with a transphobic person.
