We live in a social climate where we can't even assert ourselves of someone's gender based on their name out of fear from a very local special interest group that has far reaches into public education system and this is another big reason why parents who can't afford private school opt for home schooling. The fact that parent had to edit their comment and could not call a man a he answers the article's question very well.

  This is word salad. What does it mean to "assert yourself" of someone else's gender?

    It means the user, a relatively recent account, is trawling for bites. The KKK in the username and the slant of many of their comments might hint at a touch of bad faith edge lording.

        I find this somewhat hypocritical given that you've recently made suggestive statements about users comments being posted and mocked on other forums, along with vague threats of their real identities being uncovered e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=pkkkzip https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=pkkkzip

        I didn't say you threatened to do it, just that you suggested vague threats of it occurring. > i dont think the ppl expressing ... here realize the screenshot of their content is being ... shared on other platforms ... coupled with ... the discoverability of usernames connected to their other real world profiles https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42687521 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42687521

      It's funny how I rarely think to look at someone's username.
