    Fuck Elon, but as for St. Clair, that’s awesome. Good on her. We need more people who know it’s okay to admit they were wrong and change their mind.

    I think it’s one of the most admirable qualities a person can have.

    Sometimes politicians get a bad rap for flipping positions or sides, like Elizabeth Warren did, but that’s a quality I want in a politician. I want people to say, “I have new information and I was wrong before, lets make it right.”

      As a parent, you can be 2 kinds of bigot.

      You can be the bigot who after their child comes out to them, maybe struggles but has a change of heart, and comes to terms with it and remains a loving parent.

      Or, you can double down and essentially get removed from your child’s life.

      One can always hope for a change of heart as well… but I think Elon at this point has infinity’d down on his bigotry.

      “I will be filing for full custody today, given her statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy,” Musk said.
