Are there no trans billionaires to object to being erased?
You don't get to become any kind of LGBT+ billionaire by being open about it.
Tim Cook is gay. But that's the easiest of the queer alphabet to be, tbh.
I doubt it was easy for him either, from what little I've understood of rich folks communities.
He wasn't open about it until he became a billionaire tho.
Also Peter Thiel (probably more important in this context as he the main supporter of JD Vance's political career), and Sam Altman.
No war but class war. They will find excuses to protect their own, regardless of "ideology."
And any lgbtq+ billionaires will side with their rich friends because identity politics doesn't exist for their kind.
Peter Thiel is gay. He's just too rich to need to care about any of this .
