Ellen PaoProject Include is working on a blogpost/articles on nonbinary workers and on transgender workers in tech. We are looking for resources we can highlight, and experts and workers we can interview. We're eager to get many perspectives of people from a diverse set of backgrounds. We are willing to pay people for their time, too. Please reach out if you have ideas or can otherwise help!
Our piece will cover intersectional issues; if you know of Black or Latinx or Indigeonous transgender and/or nonbinary workers in tech who might be interested in talking with us, please reach out
Amelia@ekp I just recently ended my twenty-plus year career in software development. I am trans, nonbinary (although I prefer the term "gender expansive" for reasons I'm happy to get into), autistic, invisibly disabled, Sapphic, and non-monogamous (another terminology rant I'd happily give).
My career included over a decade in leadership and management positions; at one point I was the head of engineering for a company with about 400 employees, directly overseeing a staff of about 30 programmers. I came out as trans just over 3 years ago.
I have spoken and written about why I left the tech sector openly, and would be glad to pass along those writings. There is much to explore in that story.
Lastly I'll echo the requests of others for a good way to get in touch outside the Fediverse; I know some people who may be very interested in talking to you as well.
