Thank you for your insight, I get it. I would have preferred to read some things to consider doing for trans people, rather than being told do's and don'ts. I feel "policed" rather than being given the opportunity to learn.

The points are very valid, even though a few things are not strictly tech related. For example using the pronouns in our bio.

I hope this explains a little better.

Well, the good news is that you decide which content you engage with 🙂 You can easily find other resources that don’t come in the form of do’s and don’t’s.

To your point that some ideas/suggestions in the article are not strictly tech-related... they are very much so given how unsafe this industry is for marginalized/minoritized communities and tech as a field needs to have better culture standards in place. So, this is as much a tech issue as are conversations about interviews, salaries, benefits and role progresssions.

Please also notice that none of the categories this post is in are code-related.
