It’s worth *so* much more than that. > Kurtis Rainbolt-Greene - https://twitter.com/krainboltgreene/status/611569515315507200 https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941 > Yes indeed he was very angered at Elia's (key Opal developer) saying gender reassignment is wrong for young children, and spending like $50,000 on gender reassignment is being out of touch with reality.
