Trans people in this country are often tolerated by society, our friends and community. However, we are rarely accepted by the very society we live in. Toleration is being “put up” with, not being actively hated by many, being liked as long as you’re “not rubbing your transness” in

I've never said this to anyone but I believe this 100%. Maybe I give too much partial credit.

One person's normal/restrained is another's excessive. The main problem with the people mentioned here is that no level of representation is low enough for them to accept. So authors may as well go 'broke' just to piss them off.

Every now and then someone tosses a "go woke go broke" blast at me because I dunno I have women in my books or people who use they/them or whatever and I feel trapped because pointing out how not broke I am makes me look like a dick so well played douchebags?

Kink-at-pride discourse is being driven, in part, by the weird position young queer people are growing up in. They are superficially validated and supported for being queer; but the undercurrent of hate is as bad as it ever was. Must be a very weird, alienating experience

So, I want to be clear who JK Rowling was having lunch with yesterday, while LGBT rights groups protested for trams rights mere miles away. Get The L Out are an anti trans hate group who hijacked London Pride to hand out trans women are rapists leaflets under police protection.

Fuck @raiser_bar for having their sales people say to a dear friend "I would have thought you'd want to hire the best engineers, not diverse ones" in response to being told that algo coding challenges are uninclusive and hurt diversity.

Being non-binary for me is not about moving away from femininity but rather embracing my masculinity & everything in between. Through this I've realised a lot of trans and enby people are better described as "more than" binary (And can bring expansive versions of joy & beauty!)

A college boyfriend of mine said he thought it was fair to challenge women engineers to prove themselves as good as men. Surely, if the women were as good, then they could just prove it? He couldn't imagine what a life would be like for someone always tasked to prove themselves.

Nothing like a big tech conference to remind you what men in tech think about the rest of us. Them: “You’re in client services?” Me: “Not exactly.” Other them: “You don’t seem that technical.” Me: “I wrote the whole damn session.”

No woman enters the tech space with a dislike towards men -most men are very supportive & inclusive- the dislike that women do have is build up over years of structural discrimination, ignorance of their work, and abuse by those men who don't have to explain themselves to anyone.

Exclusion should be intentional and documented. Which sounds horrible, but it isn’t - you just can’t make something perfect for absolutely everyone. Unintentional exclusion is usually the problem. Thanks to @JamieKnight and @GarethFW for that useful nugget.👌 twitter.com/catherinerwork…

Black and white Americans are about equally likely to use cannabis, but Black Americans are nearly four times more likely to be arrested for it. To start righting this wrong, I’m calling on President Biden to pardon everyone convicted of nonviolent federal cannabis offenses.
