@dubious_dragon I often wonder if I count or not. I'll always remember being in a room full of white people during a diversity and inclusion presentation where they emphasized diverse ethnic backgrounds to mean including those who are black, hispanic, or "other"

@squizzleflip That's a shitty thing to do to another human being, especially when there are variations between our inner senses of our own identity and how we are "pigeonholed" by society. I am very sorry that happened to you.

@dubious_dragon I appreciate the kind words! Yeah, it was less than ideal, but kind of par for the course for the diversity and inclusion I usually see. If an org wants to show commitment, I want to see the metrics and initiatives. Otherwise it's just a talking point
