Uh no. It's bad because we see Elon is a giant hypocrite with an agenda, and he is just going to transfer that to Twitter.

He wants to reinstate Trump to Twitter, who tried to overthrow American democracy both bureaucratically and with violence.

Apparently that's not bad and wrong enough.

Try to think
What is he hypocritical about and what is his agenda?

I am so glad this twatwaffle leverage policies to get subsidies for his business and to entice people to buy electric vehicles. It forced real car makers to step up. Tesla will be forgotten in a decade or two as all major manufacturers churn out higher quality vehicles. Without the weird fucking cult.

On very good terms with my kids.
I couldn't tell you how I would feel if one of them decided they were trans. I can tell you it wouldn't matter to me if one of them were gay.

Good for you. I dont grok why you would think that Elons kid is rebellious then? From life experience this is what happens when a parent is NOT on board with change.

My guess is (and it's just a guess) that the trans decision was made to get a rise out of her father. That makes her a rebellious child.

A family friend has a teenage child that has decided to make the change. I've watched from a distance and it's my opinion that it isn't going to end well. I hope I'm wrong, but like a slow moving train wreak, you can watch it happen and not be able to do a thing about it.

So. He got a rise out of his father. I mean, I can guesstimate the rest from here. Either way you put this, this is a parent fucking up their kid. There is not an angle here where this is not on dad.

ask yourself, why would any child subject themselves to that much just to piss off a parent? there are a million better ways to do that that don't involve massive personal changes, societal pressures, and loss of social status/privilege.

maybe. JUST MAYBE. she's actually trans.

Because he can't help but be silly.

All they had to do to piss off Musk is just change their name and disown him.

I dated two girls last year who knew trans people. One it was her Brothers wife's kid from a different marriage. They had transitioned some years back and were just much happier.

The other was this girl's boss's daughter, and this girl had taught his kids in school, and then he hired her as his personal assistant because they loved her so much. They were more than just a working relationship. And that's going well too so far.

Yes, because of course all trans people make this "decision" as flippantly as you suggest they do.

Seriously, how is it that the words you type seem rational, in any way, to you? Are there things in this world about actual humans that you do know?

Could be. Your guess is every bit as good as mine.

Being trans is very difficult. Trans people quickly get the impression everyone hates them. Not inaccurately.

A trans person has about a 1 in 2 chance of being assaulted in the bathroom, a 1 in 5 chance of being assaulted by a police officer, and a 1 in 3 chance of attempting suicide before the age of 30. The death in custody rate for transgendered people is very high, but it is very difficult to get numbers out of "law" enforcement. "Law" enforcement is so hostile that many trans people consider the police to just be another criminal gang looking to shake them down.

In many locals in the US, laws allow medical personnel to simply not treat trans people on the basis of religious objections. In many states, you can fire a person for being transgender and not have to pay unemployment. A transgendered person faces legalized and systemic discrimination.

Medical treatment requires multi-discipline combination of primary care, endocrinology, and therapy all carefully defined by the AMA. It is expensive and very difficult to access.

A person does not simply choose to become the most hated minority in the country.

A family friend has a teenage child that has decided to make the change. I've watched from a distance and it's my opinion that it isn't going to end well. I hope I'm wrong, but like a slow moving train wreak, you can watch it happen and not be able to do a thing about it.
Yep, that is exactly what it is, a slow moving train wreck.

You know why the medical establishment goes along with it?
Because people survive slow moving train wrecks*.

The other option is a fast moving train wreck with a dead kid.

The pile** of dead kids grew large enough, and even a hyper conservative organization like the AMA jumped on board. Having to deal with the pile of dead bodies had that effect on them.

*it would not even have to be a train wreck if people could move beyond their hatred. But no, half the country needs to demonize trans people for some reason.

The medical establishment is just trying to reduce the pile of dead bodies. Hormone treatments on the black market are typically shared between multiple users, and a shared needle is a shared needle regardless of what is in it. Refusing medical treatment to a trans person is a death sentence, they will just go black market. A trans kid that ends up a runaway from his/her parents has a next to nil chance of reaching the age of 20. Most run for South Florida, fleeing the bible belt. A lot of them ended up in Broward county where I was a volunteer for a time.

Refusing treatment to a trans person just ends up with a dead trans person. Rejecting a child for being trans ends up with a dead child. Everyone involved is just making the best of a difficult situation.

The saddest thing about it, is the vast majority of negative outcomes are caused by closed minded people with hatred in their heart. A little acceptance and the positive outcomes would greatly increase.

It is not a guess:
They did not have a choice. That is all there is to it. Nobody would choose to be trans.

Why are some talking about Elon Musk's child? Why are some casting aspersions? Or theorizing about behavioral motives?

I don't trust Musk for a lot of reasons. But the latest turn in this discussion thread worries me that a few on our side are morphing into wide eyed defamers.

Because it is felt Elon is targeting minorities as a form of collective punishment. He cannot target his kid specifically, so he attacks everyone he considers as enabling.

Why are some casting aspersions?
Elon has chosen an Evil path of action. Aspersions are appropriate.

Or theorizing about behavioral motives?
Option B is Elon is just evil.

My brother from another mother was faced with this situation years back, I clearly remember having him on the phone semi panicking over it and this is not characteristic semi-bigoted behavior for him but he clearly needed to vent so.... but then he started to cite those statistics you just did, specially the one about suicide, my dude was panicking over the thought of losing his kid to suicide... Anyway long story short, my pal did/do what you must do in this situation, nothing but love and support - while the mother(they were separated before this) and her side of the family went into denial, berating him how wrong he is, mistaken etc... bla bla bla.... Guess what side of the family has been cut off, who is not talking and have not been in communication for the last couple of years? Yea. Mom.
