This is pretty much my stance.

A whole lot of what the right gets uppity about is none of falls strictly in the 'none of their fucking business' category

A common dog whistle for the right is individual rights and freedoms... Yet they get hung up on things like trans rights which are checks notes individual rights and freedoms

I remember having a conversation with my conservative boss. He said something stupid about not understanding pronouns and the look on his face when I told him it didn't matter because the pronouns aren't for him. If he can't take a few minutes to understand why someone uses a specific pronoun, it's better that he just excuses himself from it. He just couldn't understand why I would exclude him in that way. Like fuck you dude, you bring it up, get upset when you can't understand and then think it's all about you. Fuck off.

Would be better if you just started calling him she, they or it. You would probably be fired, but he would get the message. mostly wouldn't you never know with them people

I'm out of the loop. I know he's seen as cantankerous but did he say or do something actually bad?

Best Linus.

In another life, I delivered a package to Linus and he answered the door in a bathrobe at 1:30 in the afternoon, just got out of the shower. Nice guy.

Bea-fucking-utifully said.

I already had a huge respect for him for being really pragmatic, but after this post my respect for him climbed a level above I thought wasn't even possible.

And that's without considering the guy basically made software that runs >99% of modern internet.

I knew there was a reason besides Linux that made me love Linus.
