> the seemingly endless amount of personal effort people put into 'alternate sexual identities' .. similar to a cancer It reads to me like the poster is calling the effort cancer, not the identities themselves. The HN guidelines ask us to take the most charitable interpretation. If it's unclear, the least we could do would be to ask for clarification, instead of using their poor wording as a means to score cheap rhetorical points.

"Wide eyed and run away"... "like a cancer, to me"... "keep pandora's box closed"... no. OC was very consistent throughout that paragraph. The intention was made very clear through repetition, and demanding a "charitable" interpretation of calling discussion of race, sex, and gender identities a "cancer" is disingenuous.
