It absolutely is relevant. Imagine being born into a body of your opposite sex and having to deal with a society that isn't advanced enough to realize the binary genders arose out of industrial revolution for productivity efficiency to benefit the few. It still is this way but we don't have factory with prison like buildings to work in but we are all still feudal subjects.
I'd like to also point out that there is a very real cabal of HN nicks that is actively doing drive by downvotes on specific topics centring around LGBTQ+, immigration and ICOs.
I started seeing this back in 2014 and it correlated with the rise of r/the_donald. There are even amino groups that specifically coordinates such attacks. For instance, the Damore threads were really interesting. Within the first few hours of posting there were a lot of comments seemed off for HN userbase, defending trump and Damore's manifesto. Counter comments were flagged and downvoted.
We know reddit is under the influence of shills and HN is not exempt.
