The OP is a part of a marginalised group of people. Marginalisation means that some people who aren't part of that group feel they have to resist. This means that the issues of the marginalised people are perceived as less important or even annoying. Sometimes this effect is subtle but can be severely damaging. One example is that the post needed several attempts here at Hacker News to be not flagged. As a Deaf programmer I also experience this marginalisation. Of course the causes are different. One thing is exactly the same: I need to fight for my own power. And this fighting is sadly already enough to tick people off. Edit: Clarified language.
