"I know a person" is a typical response from the noveau pseudo scientific trans movement, no one really understands this condition yet, and hopefully science can figure it out, although science around this topic has been shut down by the "progressive" movement.

It breaks the site guidelines to post shallow dismissals of other people's experience, so please don't. Taking HN threads into ideological flamewar is even worse, so please don't either.

Knowing a person is a perfectly cromulent reason to say something in a conversation. Conversations is all HN threads are. Anecdotes are great for conversation (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

Please don't respond to a bad comment by taking the thread further into flamewar. Down that path lies wreckage, regardless of who's right and who's wrong. And it breaks the site guidelines as well. As they say, the thing to do with egregious comments is to flag them and/or to email [email protected]—not to feed them by replying.
