I’m Sick of “Women in Tech” Spaces
<p>I’ve sent emails like this one before. I’ve had many, many conversations that sound like reading out this email. I’ve asked so many event and group organizers if the women’s group is open to non-binary folks, and gotten a variety of responses.</p>
<p>Sometimes people respond ”of course” the space is open to non-binary people. This is nice to hear, but if I had to ask then we’re labeling the space wrong, or it’s not as inclusive as the responder seems to think. Hopefully they haven’t changed the group’s language and culture to explicitly include nonbinary folks because they just don’t know how. Hopefully their inaction is not because they don’t care.</p>
