I'm not even being given a chance to use my personal judgement to evaluate the evidence because there doesn't seem to be evidence?
My original post in this thread already addresses the matter regarding it being CloudFlare's judgment in the end.

Searching for "degenerate" on the page leads to a single comment for me [0], and that comment uses it completely impersonally:
> When I was a baby queer in the mid 90s, it was functionally impossible to talk to gay adults in person at all because the AIDS epidemic had convinced society that all gay people were dangerous degenerates.
I'm not sure why your browser search is not turning up the other comment. Here it is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32729604
edit: Actually, the comment seems to have been flagged just now, a few minutes after I replied here. At least it is flagged now, I guess.
Still, I believe 1h for it to be removed seems decent time for moderation, especially in such a large and relatively flamey thread.
"All people say they are" is a site running coordinated harassment campaigns, including SWATing and bomb threats, though. Those are clear crimes. You can't seriously be arguing that CloudFlare or DDos-Guard or whoever shouldn't be allowed to choose not to do business with that sort of thing, can you?
Like so many others here[1], your perception thing seems to be based solely on your personal judgement as to whether the claims are true. But if they're true, it doesn't seem very controversial at all. And even if they're not true, it seems like the only party's judgement that really matters here (absent law enforcement, of course), is CloudFlare's.
[1] I admit I've been stunned at the general level of anti-trans sentiment in these threads. So many of these subthreads end in arguments like yours, which sound like they're trying to be arguments of general libertarian principle but end up falling into subjectivity traps.
