30 something, queer, trans, and entering my Mom era. Anti fascist but make it fashion. I begrudgingly do computer things for work and sometimes talk about it but I usually talk about gender and anarchy here.

We're all walking around keeping secrets about the catastrophic disasters we've seen on the inside of companies, because we're afraid that other companies won't hire us if we talk about them. If we all talked, a lot of those companies would just be gone.
It's a great example of how the structure can only exist because of the implicit threat of violence.
If any one of us does talk, then the violence becomes explicit, and they get destroyed as a warning to the rest of us. In this way, acts of individual defiance serve to reinforce the system, not challenge it.
I've been an engineer for a really long time and after transitioning I fucking hate it. I'm not even out and I pass most of the time, it's just pure misogyny on every front. I'm excluded from meetings, held to a higher standard, constantly infantilized, the whole 9 yards.
Prior to transition this was an area I felt I was at least doing half right. I was regularly celebrated for my work, could have professional conversations, etc. Not always, and still super uncomfy being in such a hellhole culturally, but it was one area where the world told me I fit in to an extent.
Fuck the patriarchy.
