Female Founders Conference today at 1pm PT

The conference actually starts at 2pm. Registration is at 1pm but for those who will watch online 2pm is the relevant time.

Here's the link to the livestream: http://live.femalefoundersconference.org/

It will be livestreamed.

Apparently the HN mods are transphobic and won't discuss how exclusionary this is.

the site is well designed! looking forward

I see two flagkilled top level comments and I assume they are saying "why do we need .... just for women". I assume that the flaggers believe that this issue has already been resolved, and debating this distracts from the real issues, and therefore should be discouraged.

On the other hand, I recall that a story about sexism in tech was flagkilled, only to be revived by the moderators. In this case I assume that the flaggers believed that the issue of sexism in tech has already been shown to be exaggerated, and flooding HN with articles like this only distracts from other interesting topics.

So my question is: are the moderators willing to be explicit about their role in guiding the debate on HN on these issues. That is, are they willing to admit that there is not consensus among HN posters on the importance of sexism in tech, or encouraging women to work in the industry, but that the moderators themselves have taken a side on this issue and want to enforce it on HN debates?
