I do feel like this conversation around blood clot risk and the AZ jab doesn't sufficiently register quite how many women are on contraceptive pills with v high blood clot risk already

As a nonbinary person, I find the term “non-men” to be better for me than “women and nonbinary people.” I only use it when I can’t be more specific. (This isn’t a monolithic statement for all nonbinary people.)Tatiana Mac (@TatianaTMac)Wed, 07 Apr 2021 14:43 +0000

While I’m sure he’d be flattered, I reckon Turing would rather see the Government ban conversion therapy, the (currently legal) form of LGBT torture that he was subjected to before he died in 1954

A fun fact- the ASL for 'transgender' is in a similar handshape and motion as ASL for 'beautiful' but signed over heart. So remember this, #TransIsBeautiful ! Have a great #TransDayOfVisibility you all. 🤟

All I’m saying is that when we go back to in-person conferences, some of y’all managers of women I know that have fucked them over during the pandemic are going to end up in some *really* uncomfortable, in-person conversations with me.

Really cool that the FSF has decided the past contributions of a dinosaur who's spent literal years openly abusing women without repercussions outweigh the potential contributions of all the women they just alienated by letting that man back into a position of power

You ever think about how a woman will respond to unwanted advances by inventing a fictional man as a partner because other men are more likely to respect a fictitious man’s boundaries than the woman’s?

I regret defaulting to “I’m married” when trying to stop unwanted engagement from a man. Subconsciously, I was appealing to the patriarchy. I should have just said stop. That also should be enough.

you could think of it as a way of calling all asian people yellow which, obviously, isnt the case. its also just ineffective if you want to spread awareness about the current asian hate crimes going on.

Women don’t need a day. Women need equal pay, paid maternity leave, flexible work, leadership positions, board seats, and funding.

no - no i don't want to talk about pronouns or gender or surgery - none of this is fun for me - i wish i didn't have to do this - i honestly hate it all - asking a transgender queer to talk about gender is like asking a diabetic to talk about needles its not fun for uskris nóva (@krisnova)Mon, 08 Mar 2021 22:16 GMT
G'day! If someone uses they/them pronouns, maybe don't include them in lists of international women, eh?
Paul Fenwick (@pjf)Mon, 08 Mar 2021 13:57 GMT
Some ideas for celebrating International Women's Day instead of tagging women in lists: - give money directly to women - support sex workers - fight for better child care - hire women, pay them equally, and promote them - if you see someone doing cool work, talk about their workIan Coldwater 📦💥 (@IanColdwater)Sun, 07 Mar 2021 22:25 GMT

So let me see if I've got this right. We belittle and berate women for not having kids, but professionally, financially, and socially punish women who do have them?

Today is a hard day for me, it is the anniversary of Trayvon Martin's death. For me, that was the most excruciating reminder to me that I could be killed for how I looked. Take time today for silence to pay respect to many named and unnamed Black folks that deserve justice.

In every Zoom/Teams/Google call I was on this week, I noted what happened when a man and a woman tried to talk at the same time. 86% woman apologized and asked the man to continue 10% man apologized and asked the woman to continue 4% someone else suggested who should go firstAlyssa Miller - 🌈Rainbow Teamer🌈 (@AlyssaM_InfoSec)Fri, 26 Feb 2021 02:36 GMT

It hurts to see multiple role models in the tech industry get pushed out or leave companies sooner than they wanted to for stupid reasons.

This is an interesting experiment. Try opening a new tweet and posting the words "trans women are women". See what kind of response you get. Afraid to do so? Well guess what it's like to actually be trans on here. Don't think I'm a woman? Then please just fuck off.Post details

Last week I shared with my mom that I identify as non-binary and I use they/them pronouns. My mom asked if I had any articles for her to share to learn ways she can support me. She mentioned to extend her grace as she learns more about my identity.
