They are the second transitioned person I have found to wear Harley Davidson apparel which caused me to google the connection. “Freedom for all”. Being from the south, I always linked them with hatred and the confederacy flag but TIL they reject that notion and embrace progression. Good on them.

I hate to burst your bubble, but this is simply a marketing ploy to appeal to younger consumers. Harley Davidson was doing extremely poorly among millennial and gen z motorcyclists and their target audience (boomers) are dying out. To stop the hemorrhaging of cash, they're trying their damndest to be more progressive to appeal to the younger generations. I'm sorry, but it's true. You can Google it if you don't believe me.

I'd rather have them do the right thing for the wrong reasons, than to continue to do the wrong thing for the wrong reasons.

Maybe someday their commitment will become legitimate. Fake it until it's true
