can we please stop saying “the gender they identify with” and start saying .... gender?

I try to imagine Gates, Bezos or Musk with these backgrounds meant to showcase men at “the height of their powers.” I somehow don’t think they’d go with florals. twitter.com/forbes/status/…

"People bring their kids to Pride!" they also bring them to Comic Con but Slave Leia costumes are different, right?

if we really want to protect kids from sexuality let's start with straight men who've felt entitled to share their opinions about my body and what they'd like to do with it starting when I was 11

Interesting! Women prefer remote work at a higher rate than men, citing not having to get dressed up and having more flexibility as key reasons. This resonates with me a lot - NOT needing to put in 30+ minutes on hair/makeup daily adds up quickly. axios.com/the-gender-div…

Sommer Panage (@Sommer)Fri, 21 May 2021 21:58 +0000

women leadership workshops that teach women "how to demonstrate confidence and competence" or "how to collaborate better" are misdirecting blame. What we really need is for society to learn not to undermine us and assume incompetence.

Ableism in particular has saturated everything without remorse. So many ableist words are used as lazy shortcuts to convey ideas by so many folks, including those who are otherwise relatively “progressive”.

Tierney Cyren (@bitandbang)Mon, 17 May 2021 15:08 +0000

Once you start trying to reform your own language to remove ableist, misogynistic, and other harmful language you start realizing how deeply rooted those words and phrases are in our communication.

Tierney Cyren (@bitandbang)Mon, 17 May 2021 15:05 +0000

When people fight for binary “women” and “men” shopping experiences, I ask them: 1️⃣ Would you make a “nonbinary” category? 2️⃣ What would you put under it? 3️⃣ Now, imagine if you didn’t bother with gender at all. Could you remove a lot of clicks and barriers to entry?

Tatiana Mac (@TatianaTMac)Sat, 15 May 2021 13:13 +0000

It’s mind boggling how much the tech industry loves sexist, racist, misogynistic men. Slowly coming to the realisation that such deep rooted beliefs can’t be reformed. At least not in my lifetime.

*PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT* Please stop saying "This is giving me PTSD" or "This gave me PTSD" when it... didn't. It undermines what people with PTSD (like myself) actually have to go through on a day-to-day basis, and it's not because we saw someone wearing socks with Crocs.

Came out to a dude at work today and he immediately asked for my name and pronouns and then went ahead and changed my name in his phone without even asking and like, that's how you fucking do it. It's so damn easy.

I am immensely proud of the fact that I always choose to present complex information in an accessible, simplified and jargon-free way. It might look ‘non-academic’ but that’s the point. I could write it to look like an impenetrable paper if I wanted, but what good would that do?

Imagine being in the place of privilege where societal and political discussions is simply a distraction vs. being what directly impacts your life. So tired of this “works on my machine” mindset.

My daughter asked me what to do when men whistle and shout at her when she walks down the street. She’s 13. I want to cry. And follow her so I can shout at these men. I told her to ignore them. It seemed a shitty answer.

Cathy Hayward (@CathyHayward7)Mon, 26 Apr 2021 13:35 +0000

Look I think Caitlyn Jenner is a rightwing ball of slime but I'm still going to gender her correctly. Doing anything else makes it clear you see recognising trans people's genders as conditional privileges for good behaviour that you can revoke any time, and trans ppl notice that

Someone’s sexuality or gender identity does not affect their rights to equality. If you do not accept this then you are a bigot and I will judge on that basis. There is no “Yeah, but” here.
