I don’t know if it’s just effective moderation of this forum, but I’m impressed that an article about a politically sensitive subject like hormone therapy for gender dysphoria, on a public forum, has such high-quality and civil discourse.


Honestly, historically, trans related topics on HN are full of transphobia. This one seems relatively well received, and I don't know what's changed.


I mean, mostly, main counterexample is that Manuel_D guy who is spouting debunked TERF talking points, e.g. he thinks the Cass Report hasn't been shredded. I think it helps that there are a LOT of us trans folks in tech to represent here.
