cis autodrag posted:So on a more serous note, I wanted to talk about the stereotype that trans people are drawn to tech. Anecdotally, there do seem to be more trans people in tech than in the wider population, but my thinking is that the truth is that there's just more out trans people. That makes a lot of sense, I hadn't thought of it like that. I have definitely noticed there are a lot of trans people in tech, but I didn't put much thought into why. It's another privilege that upper class people have.

Ciaphas posted:sorry to invade the thread with a stupid question but i can easily see google leading me to the wrong answers the a stands for asexual/agender and sometimes ally. Asexual means you have no interest in sex. You might do it but you don't derive pleasure from it. Agender means you don't identify with a gender. Commonly expressed as being androgynous. An ally is a cishet person that actively supports queer people. the i stands for intersex which is a person with a sex body part that does not fit the typical characteristics of the two sexes. This can happen when there's a hormone imbalance and the person doesn't really physically resemble a female or a male. Controversially parents may choose which sex they want the baby to grow up as because they're kind of in between and could go either way.

I'm a fan of using queer instead of LGBT++++++++++ because someone's always going to be left out if you use an acronym.

Just wanted to say that hookup apps aren't all bad. I met my boyfriend of one year so far on Scruff. If you're not having luck on Okcupid or w/e at least check em out! Whole lot of cool people out there that don't have the time to fill out a whole dating profile.

What do folks think about using euphemisms to talk about genitals around trans people? I saw some Youtube videos that trans friends sent me in earnest that suggested saying 'bottom innie' instead of vagina and 'bottom outie' instead of penis. Those terms sound childish to me, but is it helpful at all to be more careful with my word choice? I'm inclined to treat people like adults and use the usual terms.

My work just had its first queer lunch. Only 6 people out of a campus of ~2,500 showed up - but it was only advertised on the queer mailing list. It's a start I guess. It seems like my company is making positive strides in the queer space. The team is planning to propose to management some pro bono work for queer healthcare organizations among other initiatives. Management has been responsive so far - paying for booths and swag at a couple Prides for example. As the olds retire and the youngs demand more visibility and representation it makes me happy.
