The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.
This is just disgraceful. I understand times are tough, but to basically ruin an event just for your own personal gains. It’s just not right.
Is there any way this can be prevented in the future?Is there any way this can be prevented in the future?
Unfortunately, I can’t think of any way to add prevention measures that wouldn’t also open the door for some insanely transphobic practices. I think this is one of those things where you have to really rely on good faith behavior from the local community/people signing up for the event
I have never encountered anything in my life that ran on good faith that wasn’t immediately turned into a trainwreck.
Next time this happens simply slaughter the invaders and bath in their blood.
people love making shit like this the problem of non-binary people who are assumed to be men and trans women who are assumed to be men instead of just kicking people who behave badly by pushing and shoving from the event. it really has played into the division that transphobes are trying to sow.
