oh cool, transphobia.

  That's not what I meant, but I suppose there's also a correlation there. I was referring more to the fact that coastal software engineers tend to be testosterone-deficient as a group, which strongly affects political alignment. E.g. https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/project/155441/version/V1/view https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/project/155441/version/V... or https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6717495/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6717495/

      You responded to my comment in like 8 seconds so you obviously didn't even glance at either study.

        obviously

      > sure, buddy. That's an interesting response to a scientific study published in a peer-reviewed journal that says testosterone supplementation causes people who hold left-wing political views to shift rightward in their political compass. It's likely not conclusive, it's just one study after all, but I think a less-dismissive response is probably warranted. You are responding to the parent poster as if they are entering the conversation with an agenda, but the way you are responding informs any third-party readers that actually you are the one engaging in this conversation with an agenda and not taking the charitable read of the other posters comments as aligned to the HN guidelines. I'd encourage you to read the HN guidelines, read the studies they linked, and then respond with something less snarky and dismissive and more substantive.
