Excluding an entire swath of people.

Any future or current trans members of the Opal team who are or would be dissuaded away from a bigot.

That's interesting, you must have read different tweets than I did.

In the string of tweets, the only abrasive behavior I saw came from Kurtis, not Elia. I don't think it's accurate to paint Elia as a bigot, though I don't agree with him.

edit: I can't reply to your post, but it's worth noting:

> He straight up says Transgender people are insane.

No, he didn't "straight up" say anything like that. You put those words in his mouth in your next post by appending a fragment of his post to your own interpretation of those words.

He straight up says Transgender people are insane.

How the hell is that not bigoted?

> That's interesting, you must have read different tweets than I did.

I'm reading reams of tweets saying transgender people refuse to work with a transphobic person.

Don't forget that while trans developers are probably incredibly rare, the amount of trans-accepting developers who might be dissuaded is probably higher, and likely to grow.

Anecdotally it seems to me that the percentage of developers who are trans is actually higher than in the general populace. I'd be curious to see statistics though.
