Frankly, I can live with that framing.

On both counts, even.

I want you to stop lying about what Framework did or does, that’s all.

If we agree the issue is about denouncing alone, and not any material activity, maybe the intellectually honest thing would be to update

tech company funding racists and transphobes

They support and fund DHH

to say what you actually mean — a tech company that refused to take a stance outside of their purview. (As a company). Which, I agree, is not exactly a badge of honour.

(Not to mention they never, once, funded DHH directly. But sure, retweets win at the exchange rate.)

(Oh and please look up Mette Frederiksen at some point.)

Because… of the paper trail? Rails World 2026 sponsorships are up and they are not in; they haven’t retweeted Omarchy rices since October; and… I admit, I can’t be sure they haven’t sent him another computer. Which — as you know — concludes the exhaustive trifecta of clear, loud and unambiguous support for bigots.

But you, I, and everyone else knows it’s not about what they do materially. As someone in a related thread actually put in writing, they ought to “denounce, when questioned”.

Meh.

That’s not how it works, right? You make the accusation; so you provide the evidence.

The claim implied in the present tense is that their relationship with DHH (insofar as there was one) is still ongoing.

As I remembered, he positively reviewed a different book by her (Bad Therapy), which deals with parenting, and not with trans issues. Looking again (not happily), he does mention Irreversible Damage — but in passing, in an ambivalent way.

I think he never broached that particular topic, but I don’t have the stomach to go over DHH’s writing and check in detail. So you might be right.

The present tense “support” is not true. If unintentional, probably best to edit the reply?

I would add links to some of the conclusions in that same gargantuan thread:

DHH is a an ethno-nationalist and a racist, I’ll grant that.

Care to support the transphobes angle with evidence? Or does it work like an honorary title?
