You as the cyclist are making a left turn. You are first in line and the light is red. There are vehicles behind you stopping who will also activate sensor. Your experience is that most are going straight or turning right. There is not a protected left signal.
Question: Where laterally (left-center-right) in the lane do you stop and where in relation to stop line?

Given that I'm first in line, I'd hog the lane. I'd just make sure I had already let everyone behind me know I was turning left, first. After that, tough nuts.
I wouldn't be holding anyone up more than if I were in my car.
Stop line: no different from a car.
