Anyone who wants to argue that tech doesn't have a massive fucking misogyny problem that's only getting worse can fucking get in the sea. Here's yet another A/B test.
the final blow for me trying to get rehired in tech happened last week. i’d been rejected for a number of roles i was beyond qualified for, so i resubmitted applications to the same companies under my dead name.
all of them emailed me back within a day. that broke me. it was time for me to pivot.

i was willing to slug it out with tech bros when i could get work, but that hasn’t happened since i’ve been applying as an out trans woman.
i’m not going back in the closet, trying do that almost killed me, so i’ve got to try something else.

An opinion I feel should be universal at this point: All indoor public spaces (but especially schools, workplaces, and medical facilities) should be subject to air quality regulations and continuous monitoring and CO2 and particulate concentration numbers should be accessibly displayed.
