In the past, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has rejected calls from Tesla engineers to add better safety monitoring when a vehicle is in Autopilot, such as eye-tracking cameras or additional sensors on the steering wheel, saying the tech is “ineffective.”

LMAO, GM's SuperCruise self-driving technology (available on some Cadillac models and the new Chevy Bolt EUV) is generally considered to be much less annoying to use because it uses eye tracking instead of requiring the driver to tap the steering wheel every 10s. The driver just needs to keep looking forward and the car can drive itself without interaction. It's the complete opposite of "ineffective" (it would just cost more, just like all the extra sensors their competitors use).

I get that much, but the petition they're sharing is against the bill outlawing conversion therapy. Which I thought might be a lol that they didn't bother synchronizing their poo poo takes, but realize now that they're probably both just angling for it to be replaced with a more transphobic bill and are in agreement.

Sorry, it turns out it wasn't actually funny.

It's the same take, I think. Their logic is, the bill banning conversion therapy will also ban any therapy aimed at discouraging gender transition in a patient, since that could be seen (rightfully so, generally speaking) as a form of conversion therapy, attempting to convert the patient from trans to cisgender. Their flawed, terfy logic further implies that allowing gender transition is the true conversion therapy, because it sometimes involves gay cis people converting to straight trans people.

This is, of course, insane. But while trans people are their current target and scapegoat, and their transphobia is deep and tenacious, I think this particular cause comes down more to homophobia.

UK tries to ban conversion therapy. Homophobes oppose such a ban, but can't voice their opposition on homophobic grounds, as gay people are accepted enough that such an argument would hurt their cause, which is why the law has a chance of passing in the first place. Transphobia is much more commonplace though, so they construct a complicated reason why the law would actually help trans people rather than gay people, and attempt to obfuscate the harm opposition to the law will do to gay people.

Pretending to be allies of gay people, and only opponents of transpeople, for the sake of hurting all lgbt people is a go to move among bigots these days.

And now that I've typed all that out, can someone clarify some language for me? I kept writing "trans people," which I learned was acceptable language when I was younger and more involved with lgbt people. It seems like the language evolves very quickly these days and it no longer looks right, should I have typed out "transgender people" each time? Or is there a better abbreviation, or is "trans people" fine? I'll edit my post if my terminology is bad.

Trans people is fine, you're good.

I'm always kinda mad that I called the 'conservatives take aim at trans people once they couldn't swing at gay people anymore' years ago (particularly when legalizing gay marriage was finally on the table in Australia), but I don't even get an 'I told you so' from that since nobody was really refuting it, I just get the fact that I saw it coming.

Trans people or transgender people are both fine, just use them like you would any other adjective. What you want to avoid is merging them into a single noun (transpeople).

More or less, yeah, in that some people use it as a stealth (or not so stealth) burn and some people don't notice or care.

But one is still correct and one isn't, unless you drop spaces between all your adjectives and nouns.

'Bimbo' used to be gender neutral, but was eventially only ever used to refer to women.
