Elon is a massive piece of shit, but this is a genuine question because I don't follow everything with him...

Has he been anti-trans?

Edit: Jesus Christ... Can't say I'm surprised.

He directly promoted the transphobic film 'What is a Woman?'. Not sure if he's publicly done more than that, but his trans daughter doesn't want to be related to him at all and changed her name accordingly.

This is just the first result from Google

tl;dr, At Xhitter, he fired the people who took down promotions for a film inciting anti trans hate and then promoted the film.

Yeah he’s been pretty blatantly anti-trans. This article has more info, but the highlight here is that his daughter, who is trans, disowned him.

I can't say for sure because I don't give much of a shit about him, but IIRC (I read this years ago) he has a trans daughter who's cut communications with him. So probably.

Not the worst thing, but the dumbest anti-trans thing he's done is loudly proclaim that "cis" is a slur and calling someone cis is harassment.

Elmo refuses to acknowledge the transition of his own child.

The fucks going on in Sesame Street

[–] ech@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

For a while now, yeah.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

He deadnamed his own kid, if memory serves. One of his daughters is trans.
