They aren’t just in tech. They are in positions of power within tech. They are overwhelmingly white too. They are engineering managers or senior developers, or directors etc. It’s very rare to see white women in those positions, let alone black or Latina women. I’ll admit there are plenty of South Asian women in those positions.

I’m curious, would you have any insight or observations at all about how TiMs interact with South Asian women? I always wondered how TiMs (esp. white ones) treat women of different ethnicities.

Honestly I haven’t paid attention to the interaction. I do notice that white men are not as condescending towards trans women as much as they are to the South Asian women even though those women are in managerial roles.
