Net neutrality is about regulating ISPs to provide the same delivery service regardless of the content being sent. What you're describing is just a single implication of net neutrality involving self-bias of ISPs. >The net is not politically neutral; it arcs toward progress Humble the assumptions you make on the direction of progress |

Have you noticed something about Hackernews? So many of the coolest hacks featured here are created partly or entirely by trans, nonbinary, or genderqueer folx. Asahi Linux, Cosmopolitan libc, bsnes, frickin' ARM processors! And this seems to be only increasing with time. The tech sector and hacker culture are increasingly queered. And the trans/binary/genderqueer/neuroqueer contingent are increasingly in decision-making roles at tech companies and the internet infrastructure itself. If we were to lose them, we would lose perhaps the biggest wellspring of talent in the whole tech sector.
Kiwi Farms has attacked them and in so doing, attacked the network itself. The network is fighting back. It thrives on diversity, nonconformity, and those who question everything, even the identities assigned to them at birth. Kiwi Farms is making those people suffer. Do not expect the internet, which is basically a set of peering relationships maintained by very vulnerable humans, to carry their traffic and thereby condone further harm.
