      Apparently he's had something of a redemption in recent years. He at least seems to be self-aware enough to understand the callous brainiac approach doesn't fly anymore, and he has done a complete 180 on trans stuff iirc.

        Yeah there’s a quote where he talks about going to therapy for anger management and how people who hate others because of their gender etc are loser and stuff. I actually think it’s low-key important to have a prominent figurehead like him take more of an active “paradox of intolerance” type stance
