Unfortunately I didn't have a long sleep like I had hoped.

Kinda grumpy on that and I probably won't have opportunity to nap any today.

But maybe I'll actually get to really really cook food today.

I had a dream last night that I had my aquarium set up in my office and my boss was like "you can't have this here, it's a distraction", and was basically like "you're such an asshole".

Well, we might have a new habit on our hands! Pico demanded to go on a walk this morning, so that's 2 days in a row on a leash. He promptly found the cat nip 😹

A question for women of fedi!

I’m working with an organization of professional women who want our trans sisters to know they will be welcome and accepted in the group.

What’s the best way to do this in our media when having events, etc?

Because my brain goes “trans women are women, of course they’re welcome!” but I know that isn’t always the case and want to allay any concerns folks might have about joining.

Are there ways you’ve found to indicate while not othering?

aronow,
@aronow@hachyderm.io avatar

@Willow @Impossible_PhD I’ve been thinking about your question all morning and here’s what I’ve got so far… (still rough thoughts, so apologies if not eloquent!).

The reason I want trans women in the group is the same reason I want all women in the group and why I want to be there - I work in the tech industry adjacent, as a technical recruiter, and while there are lots of women in the industry there are proportionally smaller numbers of women in the upper levels of management. (Cont.)

Even when we do get VP/Director roles we almost always report to men, or end up the only woman in the room more often than not.

We get asked to make the coffee, take the notes, and if “the girls” can pick up the conference room after the meeting.

Not to mention the sexual harassment that seems to come standard with working in tech.

I have to believe trans women experience the same and should have a place to go for support, mentorship, professional development, etc. (Cont.)

aronow,
@aronow@hachyderm.io avatar

@Willow @Impossible_PhD Also, just on a human level, if you’re a woman you should get to be included in the effort to raise all women, with no caveats.

I’m sure there’s more, and I’m rambling now, but thank you for such a great question and I will continue to ponder!

aronow,
@aronow@hachyderm.io avatar

@Impossible_PhD @Willow “I’m sorry” doesn’t seem like the right thing to say even though I am and you should never have had this experience.

Maybe it’s more “damn! You’ve put up with some really incredibly unfair things and yet you’re still out here trying to make it better! Good on you!”
