Odd choice for a Hacker News article.

Shes kind of an e-girl so I guess it makes sense in a way.

Well written article!

Indeed. I only recognize the name from some pretty bad armchair psychology takes and hobby sociology on trans people a few years back. Nothing compared to what happens on X these days of course.

Still a worthwhile read.

Why do you think it's odd? These types of articles - the "human" ones - are some of the best on HN, IMO. Jake Seliger's posts as he was dying were incredible, for example.

First time I saw a post here of her I found it odd, and made me think, now I know it's one of the things that makes HN, HN and I appreciate. To make me think.

She's a Rationalist, which is fairly HN-adjacent.

I don't think it's odd. She's interesting, a great writer, and this was a moving piece. Not everything posted to HN is about orgmode and Rust.
