>Most of us are total morons at that age. Speak for yourself. I’ve known 12 yr olds with more maturity and learning about owning their actions, dealing with heavy shit like death, pronouns and minority rights than a 53 yr old just in this past year. Heck, just in the last month I was confronted with a child no older than 6 owning his mistakes and apologizing for it. No excuses. Part of the problem is allowing people to treat others like doormats, shirking responsibility over their actions brushing it off like an age, era and/or gender thing and this does nothing but create infighting over stupid shit like ageism. Be better than this. She can own she made a mistake like any fully functioning adult would.

> She can own she made a mistake like any fully functioning adult would. >"I feel immense guilt for my role. And even more guilt that things I have said in the past may have caused my son's sister more pain," St. Clair wrote, referencing Musk's daughter [Vivian Wilson](https://www.advocate.com/tag/vivian-jenna-wilson), who is trans. "Idrk how to make amends for many of these things but I have been trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I've hurt." Isn't that exactly what she did?

There has to be room for forgiveness if you ever want people to positively change. She admitted that she was wrong and is trying to atone for it by advocating for the cause. People can absolutely change as they get older and gather more life experiences, and we should be supporting those who realize the things they thought before were wrong and are working on changing themselves for the better.
