Elon Musk declares WAR on empathy

--

To those saying I'm for puberty blockers, etc., please watch the video... I speak about the difficulties of both allowing and not allowing them. I dont think any of these issues have easy answers, but I do know saying we should lock up people for advocating what the science is showing is helping no one.

Peterson has gotten much worse over the years. He's just an entertainer at this point. No different than Matt Walsh or Ben Shapiro

[gonx]

Peterson has never cared about evidence.

The thing I'm getting from this is that Elon doesn't care about his "son" as anything more than a possession. He had a "son", doctors took his "son" away, now he doesn't have a "son". Woe is him, how will he ever cope. The well-being of the person doesn't even enter into it. It's all about how it made Elon feel. He was so blinded by his desire to keep his "son" that he ended up losing a daughter. And somehow, it's everyone else's fault.

There is a saying in the autistic community: 'if you're not ready to have an autistic child, you're not ready to have a child'
I think this could also aply for trans people: 'if you're not ready to have a trans child, you're not ready to have a child'

Love how over the years Jordan Peterson has started sounding more and more like Trump. “This lie is true, everyone knows it. Anyone who doesn’t is lying.”

[Krueger]

Watching him shriek about this involving children but when a fully grown adult elects to undergo surgery he also throws a tantrum

[slayer]

It's absolutely pathetic that Elon acts like he's in any way the victim here

[thomassloan]

He was always like this. Dude got famous from lying about that law in Canada. He was never an honest actor or motivated by anything other than ideology. He pretended to use reason and science but it was facade to disguise his bigotry and nationalist tendencies.

I'm 50. This rhetoric is exactly what my gay friends went through in the 80's & 90's. Elon will end up a lonely bitter old man and his daughter will go on to live a happy and productive life.

When my daughter told me she was a transwoman, my first words to her were, "How can I help you? What can I do?" My daughter was just born into the wrong body, I noticed that there was something that she wasn't happy about for years before she told me. Anyone that can't support their child doesn't deserve that child.

I think Vivian's decision to get away from Elon in every way possible is the smarter move.

[Robert-ycql]

Nicely done. 😊
There was a time when being a father meant loving your son no matter what, and being a doctor meant you always respected your peers within the medical community.
It is a shame neither of these men care at all.
They spit in the face of fatherhood and medicine.

Funny how he hates Twitter being deadnamed, lol

Stage 2b cancer patient here (currently in remission).

Can confirm chemo made me temporarily infertile.

I say temporarily because I am gonna be a dad next month lol.

When I tell people he is a sociopath, they don't believe me. You cannot gather that kind of money and still be a proper human being. Everyone who does that becomes more and more of a monster over time, incapable of even the most basic forms of empathy. They turn into cold, calculating greed machines.

"Elon had a conversation with Jordan Peterson"
Oh, why didn't anyone tell me it was popcorn & cringe time?

[davidhinkley]

My son went to his university, UofT. I can assure you that this was always JP. He has screamed and cried that he was mistreated but the fact is that he was lightly treated despite his obnoxiousness and constant breach of both Uni policies and common decency in Canada.

To hear a billionaire accuse anything of being “evil” had me on stun lock for minutes.

[knutthompson]

Elon Musk suddenly acting like he gives a sh*t about his kids. That would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.
