Lisa Melton

March 31 was already significant to me because that's the day in 1998 when I helped #Netscape Navigator become #OpenSource.

Now this day has a whole new meaning for me as a #transgender woman. And it's my first #TransDayOfVisibility that I celebrate publicly since coming out to everyone on June 21 of last year.

To all my #trans siblings, I see you. Even if complete visibility isn't possible for you right now. You still matter. You're still loved. And you're still trans. Never doubt that. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂💖

The previous post is over four and half hours old, north of 600 faves and 250 boosts, sooooo... I just notice it's missing an entire word---the definite article, of all things---in the first sentence. Sorry about that!🤦‍♀️

@lisamelton Congratulations, we love you!

Also: What?! I knew you were resonsible for starting Safari and worked on other things at Apple, but I wasn’t aware of your prior role at Netscape and a few other products. I mean your resume was already impressive but it’s even more extensive than I knew. Wow. 🤩

@lisamelton @dmnelson you were the one calling Steve to get the authorisation to publish some code made by Apple or at least you were in that scene if memory serves

But well, we learn more about your past in browsers in Debug of course

It’s ironic that I now have two lovely emojis on my iPhone of a segment of our community the MAGAs would like to erase… completely. The levels of horror and disgust ARE horrid.
