    Edit: I misunderstood, my comment doesn’t add anything of value but you can still read it if you choose.

    spoiler

    Any speech which suggests that the listener may find themselves subject to a non-majority-conforming person in a position of power, or even that of a peer, will have crossed the line; one must speak as a victim seeking the pity and grace of your superiors to be permitted space to air your grievances.

    What possible grievance do you have with intersex people?

    Do people think before they say things anymore or is it just a race to put as many words on the paper as you can?

      Pretty sure they are arguing that any discussion about “non-majority-conforming” persons is moderated or censored by the existing majority to the disadvantage of the minority.

        considering they later conclude that progressive speech is allowed you must be right. I was thrown off because in real life the “majority-conforming” opinion is “I do not care what is in your pants”.

        Edit: it’s also not reflective of my time in hacker spaces at all but OP has since confirmed it’s not actually about hacking spaces but just tech in general
