That's not what I'm trying to address. I said that I agree that deserves opprobrium!

What I have trouble with, is the idea that it's somehow okay for the whole world to deliver it in the form of an ungoverned internet mob.

Societies have limits to how much opprobrium you can receive. The reality is that she's probably getting tens of thousands of death threats. In most places you have an inalienable legal right to protection from such things.

I would say, if you are more than one level removed from the issue then you should be given consideration. If you are two or more levels removed then it should be not even on the RADAR

However given she is directly connected to the person at hand by willful association after knowing the issue she pretty much deserves no exception.

Frankly I could care less about her and more about how Reddit justifies hiring her knowing what they know about her.

Maybe Reddit can sell dispensations in the form of hiring people.

What i mean is, your post seemed to imply that the opprobrium should be less because she is trans. I think it should be equal regardless of your gender identity.

I think it's fairly clear that she's receiving far more opprobrium because she is trans.
