    Lol, if we start excluding tech based on the inventors mental illnesses we are gonna end up bashing rocks together to make fire.

    Edit: To be clear, I am not saying that being trans is a mental illness, only refuting that mental illness is not a reason to discard ones contributions. Apologies for any offence.

            The original post referred to it as a mental illness, and claimed that was a reason to ignore their contribution. I was simply pointing out the silliness of that logic. I dont think its a mental illness, amd I have absolutely no problem with the trans community.

              There are many, many ways you could have done that without repeating the bigoted belief that being trans is supposedly a mental illness.

                I didnt say anything about trans people in my original comment, and deliberately didnt quote the original post as its language disgusts me. Again, sorry for any offence caused, it was not intentional.

                  So why did you repeat the “mental illness” part?

                  If you really mean what you’re saying just take the L this one time and move on.

                    You are bad faith and trying to put words in to op’s mouth you are the one that should have moved on after his second reply.
