Did you really think this was going to be downvoted on Hacker News of all places?

View on HN

The famously 'progressive' HackerNews? Years of reading the comments has led me to believe that the GPs assumption is mostly correct.

It could be my own bias, but I don't see HN as a particularly progressive place, at least as compared to, say, Reddit. Granted, it can be a good or a bad thing, but HN has a far wider spectrum of opinions that get upvoted; IME trans issues in particular dominate comment threads when it comes to LGBT issues.

HN is probably the most right-wing social media site I use TBH, I'm amazed that this thread is still producing civil discussion.
