My family disowned me when I came out. I would do anything to repair that relationship, but I know they would not be willing to accept me. It’s hard seeing Elon talk about his trans child publicly, not because of politics. But it just makes that rift harder to heal and it’s hard to watch. I’ve never mentioned my parent’s names. I’ve never said anything in my public role that would lead to them or my brother or my sister being harassed because I want to keep that door open on my end. Probably fruitlessly, but it’s what I do. It hurts seeing him close that door to rebuilding it. All this should be private, IMHO. Politics are politics, but your family is your first responsibility.
