> The fact that the platform is now explicitly transphobic is a case in point. Musk has made transphobia part of his policy position.

Hacker News has become Reddit. ${the thing I hate} is racist and transphobic!! And mindless anti-Musk hate.

We should not accept this type of comment ^^^ it is objectively and intellectually dishonest.

I said that Twitter is transphobic because Musk has made transphobic statements and has asserted that they are Twitter policy. And he owns Twitter, so they are Twitter policy. Ergo, Twitter is transphobic. This is not hyperbole; it is a simple statement of fact.
