You seem to be saying that Thea isn't a "real" woman. That's insulting, gross, and incredibly inappropriate. It's not "controversy"; it's insults and hate hidden under this plausibly-deniable veneer of "conversation". It's bigotry and bullshit. I'm glad those comments are dead, and hope yours follows.

Yeah Thea is as real of a woman as any cisgendered woman. It's upsetting that the commenter couldn't realize that there are legitimate claims about cisgendered women lack of representation in tech, but to come out with hateful language derails any useful discussion. They are literally creating a flame war while decrying that HN can't talk about certain topics. Also I am not sure this comment section is the place to talk about it.
