          Yeah no way that anyone who is actually center would be happy with transphobe ads. That’s only the techno-right Elon Musk praisers that believe that because they accept technology, they’re not far right even if they are unaccepting of large swathes of society. Center implies accepting points of view in both sides, which is not compatible with intolerant stances.
