As companies like Meta, Google, and Amazon follow President Trump’s moves to roll back diversity initiatives, trans and genderqueer devs worry their already struggling industry could follow suit.

Folks are right to say trans people (esp. women) have built technology we use every day, however Trump's next move of trying to destroy USPS is an example of how fascists just want to pull the copper out of our metaphorical walls, they do not give a shit about who's hurt or what's destroyed
My point is that it doesn’t matter what we’ve contributed to society, people saying “This will make things worse/prevent innovation” doesn’t matter to them
Kicking transpeople out of either gaming or infosec seems especially daft considering how much truly excellent talent is represented by that demographic in both industries.
That’s like firing all gay men from Broadway. Good luck there.
it is not news that facists are willing to completley destroy everything around them just to oppress those that they hate. they are the scorpion stinging the frog.
Failed English class did you buddy? WIRED didn't equate gender as an industry, WIRED stated that after trans employees in other industries have been impacted by diversity rollbacks that their industry (video games) will see the same rollbacks, and thus impact them.
No, I believe in loving radically, which requires criticizing those that fail to get with the plot. We can't achieve humanity sincerely loving one another when some people are determined to misinterpret every single thing they read about a marginalized group. Learn to read.

Don’t let them take that from you.

I mean they don't care about the talent, they think we're all here because of "quotas" bc they don't understand what the initiatives actually /do/.
They are erasing us from culture completely.
So much fake outrage from one person.

You are not programmed to genuinely think.
And, why are you dodging the question? twice?
You want to hate so much you just can't think straight.
