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?

Damn, that's an excellent apology. It's obviously worth nothing if the actions don't reflect a genuine desire to change, but it's worth everything if they do. I'm sick and tired of alienating those who change for the better. I want people to feel like progressives are the good and welcoming people who just want everyone to be equal and the best they can be.

I see that and Good for her. However my comment was directed to the above commenter making excuses on her behalf using age. Im circumventing a flawed thought process of excusing abuse and bullying should be owed forgiveness over weak arguments such as age without ownership or meaningful apology. Personally I’m glad she herself showed maturity here and didn't use such excuses.
