As a man, learning to code also changed my life. Would anyone like to read about my story and my perspective as a man?

Probably there is an audience for it, but probably not particularly either the audience for which the Glamour article is primarily published (who aren't men) or the HN audience (among whom men who already know how learning programming changed their own life are decidedly overrepresented.)

Probably not, since being a male programmer is hardly unique in any way. Probably should pick a different angle for your story.

Yes, a "male programmer" is objectively less unique than a "female programmer" all else being equal.

Your statement is objectively correct, but also objectively sexist.
