I can't flag yet, but you were flagged because your comment included a lie insinuating that queer people are predators, specifically that they "indoctrinate and neuter children". Most people would recognise that as hate speech, and older people would remember that the exact same hate speech was used against homosexuals (and still is, by many of the most fervent spreaders of the idea today).

The biggest lie in that discussion is that puberty blockers are reversible.
When people are claiming that men can give birth, and publishing the claim in books for children, that is absolutely intended to indoctrinate.
And it isn't hate speech to state the fact.

I am not interested in debating the hate speech with you and I don't know why you thought I would be, obviously I am not going to believe your nonsense, I'm a normal person. I was just answering the complaining at the end of your comment about why your comment was flagged.

You're using feelings rather than reason to argue, which generally doesn't find much traction on Hacker News.
The increasing politicisation of the flag button, and its pernicious use as a surrogate for strong disagreement is a disturbing trend.
And you still have not come even remotely close to justifying the assertion that I'm engaging in hate speech - and the reason for that is not your unwillingness to engage, it's that there exists no argument in support of your case.
