What does this have to do with antisemitism? Are you assuming that Jewish people sterilize kids and that must be what Elon is on about? To me, it is incredibly odd to make that leap. [/quote]

DP...  it doesn't have anything to do with antisemitism but it does show how far off the deep end Elon Musk is.  If I were on the board of Tesla or his other companies I'd be pushing to have him step down and go in for psychiatric treatment.[/quote]

Like anything else, if you view that tweet in isolation, it looks very odd and paranoid. But if you read the surrounding tweets, he lays out his concerns about recent California legislation requiring that parents affirm a gender transition.

In fact, this is the majority position in the US. It's not even on partisan lines, it's just the mainstream view: https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3991685-majority-of-americans-oppose-gender-affirming-care-for-minors-trans-women-participating-in-sports-poll/amp/

This is in no way similar to Kanye's unhinged rants, nor is it antisemitic or bigoted. Lots of parents who love and support their trans kids choose not to use puberty blockers, and it's not bigoted of them.  It's their choice about what's best for their kid's health.

The unhinged part is where it completely muddles different things and makes wild, reaching comparisons.  The people commenting on the California bill are equating it to forced sterilization and comparing it to a governmental decision such as when the Indian Health Service did non-consentual sterilization of native american women.  The bill is nothing of the kind and it is not a correct analogy.  The bill is about custody hearings for divorced couples with trans children, and whether judges should factor in if one parent supports their child's decision to transition versus the other parent who doesn't.  Also, it has absolutely nothing to do with participation in sports.  [/quote]

It should also be noted that there isn't even a legal definition of what "affirmation" means.  It doesn't automatically assume surgery and sterilization et cetera.[/quote]
