Paul seems to be complaining here that since becoming relevant/influential he's no longer "allowed" to have "x-ist" beliefs.
I mean, yeah... This is how the world works?
When your job is digging holes alone in a field (or the office/academic equivalent), you can vomit whatever insane nonsense you want without consequence, because it doesn't affect anyone or anything. You don't matter.
When your position gives you implicit or explicit power over a group of employees, founders, culture, etc; and that group either includes X's or people who care about X's, being "x-ist" has a material and unfair impact on those people. Asserting unrepentantly an "x-ist" opinion makes you _bad at that job_, and in fine capitalist tradition a better individual is found to replace you.
Also I flat-out don't buy his assertion that it's impossible to be forgiven. Louis C.K. just won a Grammy, Chappelle just signed four more comedy specials for Netflix, who are these people forever out in the cold for speaking hard truths?
Every time this comes up I wonder what these forbidden opinions he has which he dares not utter are.
