> I'm clearly very misaligned with their politics now
Are you? Or is it just that they are capable of working with people who have different political views to them? DHH is clearly right wing but I don't think it's abhorrent to work with right wing people full stop.
And yeah I've read the supposedly awful things he's written. I don't agree with them but they aren't that bad. I am centre-left for what it's worth (in the UK, which is probably just left in the US). But I also have the ability to understand other people's viewpoints.
I am not fucking around when I say incompatible with my existence. Of course I don't mean getting murdered, but advocating conversion therapy gets pretty close.

I wouldn't be around if this was policy where I live (Let's put aside that the UK is in fact pretty fucked on that)
See at this point you're boycotting a company for supporting a developer who wrote a favourable book review of someone that has unproven and controversial but absolutely not fringe views about transgender issues that you disagree with.

If what was policy? Higher thresholds for mental health diagnoses?
Cancel culture isn't a good thing, left or right.
"favourable book review of someone that has unproven and controversial but absolutely not fringe views" imagine saying this in 1930 and suddenly it doesn't sound as innocent.
Leave trans people alone.

You can believe whatever bioessentialist crap you want as long as you leave us alone.
That advice would be much better directed toward the activists trying to force "gender identity" nonsense into law and policy.
Name a law that fits this category that'd personally affect you.
Section 51 of the California Civil Code, for example.
Personally. Not extrapolating from whatever toxic waste you consume online.
My bet is that you're not even in California. But even if you are. What hardship has an open definition of sex to include gender identity and expression inflicted upon you. Please, be specific.
My local gym has men in the locker room and it's illegal for the gym to kick them out as these men say they are women. I changed gyms because of this but this only avoids the problem. Many women quietly self-exclude.
