Hello!
After the recent reddit feminist censorship, I have not been able to shake the feeling that it doesn't stop there, even though I have more hope more than I have had in awhile.
(Thank you JKR and to the UK women showing up!)
I am posting as a call to all women in tech, programming, digital law, and computer sciences who understand the importance of our sex pushing forward as women in tech while not being silenced or shut out for simply speaking about the (very complicated) reality of sex based biology and how it affects our personal experiences, the questions we ask, and the way we support those around us.
You are not alone.
- Are there any online spaces for gc women in tech, programming, etc?
- Are you a woman in tech who this resonates with? Do you have any ideas how we immobilize to protect women in tech, women only digital spaces, sex based statistical representation and tech scholarships for students entering the gender gap?
I went through a full stack web development bootcamp a few years ago. I have since changed my career path but still feel very passionately about technology and coding. After scouring the internet for a specific type of help, I thought I would reach out to this audience and see if there are any known groups, boards, subs, that would welcome a (slightly rusty) female dev!
(fyi, I'm trying to clean, config, and revive my dev environment... )
[A bit about me]
I have been learning and researching all sides of the arguments on GC - Originally coming from a place of 'women are women' ally, I have hit my 'peak' a few years ago, but lately I have been growing more and more concerned for all humans who are being stepped on, silenced and harmed at the hands of gender ideology.
As the world uses covid19 as an authoritarian free pass, the responsibility of women holding space in digital infrastructure needs reinforcement. More women working together and more women who understand the laws that protect the right to rational and respectful conversation.
If this speaks to you, I appreciate your input! :)
