I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this comes down to Elon having fired the entirety of the Twitter payments team.

I guess because it’s seen as hitting a developmental milestone. Still creepy, though. I’m fortunate in that literally none of my family would ever pry about partners nor kids.

That’s a fair point. I will admit it comes across a little nitpicky, which is something to be wary of if you’re building bridges with someone new to allyship. This is the point where some people will dig their heels in due to embarrassment.

Thanks! What word would best fit in this context?

ETA: I’ve just changed it to “gender identity” - seems appropriate to cover the other topics being attacked also.

I am so upset by how gender identity is now a key political issue, and I’m so fucking sorry to all of you that are directly affected by it. You don’t deserve this cruelty.
