>Why would you want someone like that on your team?
Presumably because their talents add value to the team. Do his opinions affect the software in any way? Is he unable to work with other team members because of his opinions? If not, who cares?

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.
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.
Yes.
> Is he unable to work with other team members because of his opinions?
Are any of his current or future team members transgender? Then yes.
> If not, who cares?
Wat.
edit: Oh I see, you're the guy from the Twitter thread.
What if the team lead is a reproductive rights activist who doesn't like Elia's avowed anti-abortion stance?
> Seriously, you need to take into account that there's another human on the end of the screen.
I'm not a sociopath and I don't appreciate you painting me like one. Interestingly, if you applied that in the other direction you might find that Elia is a person on the other end of the screen and shouldn't be callously dismissed because he holds views you don't like.
