Reposting the comment by daft_isnt_it which was flagged and is marked as dead (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30908306 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30908306): Dear fellow HN users: please do not flag things simply because they are representing a stance that you disagree with; we should use down-voting for that if we have the karma. This post does not violate our guidelines: -------------------------------------- There are many good reasons why one might want to refer to a person's biological sex in conversation. For example: "Why is that man being allowed to compete in a women's sporting event?" "Why is that man flashing his penis in the women-only area of the nude spa?" "Why is that man calling himself a lesbian and haranguing actual lesbians for not being sexually interested in him?" And so on.
