    You’re not wrong, but I think we all really wish you were.

    Sad thing is, clarifying Elon’s hatred by pointing his daughter is trans, gives credence to his take in some folks’ eyes.

    The conversation maybe ugly, but it still has to be had.

      He thinks the school system did this to his child, and he’s on a mission to stop the woke because of it.

      You cant get that across when you just say his daughter.

        But you don’t have to get that across in every discussion of her, either - that moves from discussing his vendetta over to defining her by it.

      It also factors into Elon’s hatred of ‘woke mind virus’. Her transition has become an important event to explain him and their relationship. Sadly we rarely discuss her outside of an Elon context. At least so far.
