See...Just read this entire thread (phew) and can't help noticing something.
Almost every single person here (and on Twitter, from what I've seen) who identifies themselves as trans is unhappy with this. At best they're ambivalent. I saw a few who said something along the lines of "I could like this if it wasn't coming from a developer that has already pissed me off with their tweets." I saw maybe two who were unambiguously cool with it.
Meanwhile there's a veritable avalanche of people who have not identified themselves as trans (some of them could be of course, but I don't think it's a stretch to guess that the overwhelming majority of them are cis) saying what a good explanation this is and how everything makes sense now and how they knew it all along and everyone was jumping to conclusions and... you get the idea.
As a black man from the South this sorta reminds me of the racism stuff. I don't want someone white coming up to me saying something isn't racist when I've been seeing racism and the Confederate flag my entire life. That's not gonna cut it. In this case, in the beginning of the thread I said "ok I see what they're going for, it's fine" from my POV but that's before I saw those who identify as trans respond. At that moment I looked at the situation and just stepped out because it's not my place and if they're hurt and upset by this then hey I'm going with how they respond to it because it's them. I get it now. There's just certain things that we don't know given we aren't those who are impacted by it so we as people should take their word for it.
