Ernie SmithLinus Torvalds, in his way, defends trans rights and speaks out against the anti-woke politics.
(Trigger warning: This server does not appear to fediblock very much, so there is some nasty stuff on it.)
anniethebruce@ernie I was honestly terrified of what would happen when Torvalds eventually mentioned trans people.
It's not much, but he seems to be on the right side of things. How actively he pushes for trans acceptance is still unclear, but at least he seems to have it mostly right for how he conducts himself personally.
Pēteris Krišjānis@anniethebruce @ernie Linus can be abusive, a lot. Said that, he has never been hateful. He is more of "live and let live" guy in nutshell, but when the push comes to shove he has always been strongly coming out in favor of personal rights.
@peteriskrisjanis @ernie He definitely has earned his reputation for being a jerk. Though he did take a couple years off kernel work to work on that, apparently he's not as bad as he used to be.
