Yeah that's won the argument. Why not label people as communist or socialist next?
No one is really persecuting you. Paying a bit extra tax/insurance is hardly in the same category as what Turing had to endure with chemical castration etc.
Life is about discrimination. I'm discriminated against because I didn't go to a posh school. Because I'm not a woman. Because I wear glasses. Because I'm not big+muscular. Because I don't know any famous people.
Retirement age is 5 years older for men than it is for women. Men die earlier than women.
Either you can whine about it, or you can get on and enjoy life. Life is far too short to spend it trying to change the minds of people who don't want their minds changed.
Having said that, I have no clue why this is on hacker news. Flagged.
Just my 2c, YMMV

You can change some things about you: work out, wear contact lenses, etc. You can't change your sex (or you probably wouldn't want to), so you can try to change your environment. This is the situation he's in.
