I'm so annoyed. I am at the Anitab.org's Grace Hopper event, which is the largest gathering of women/non-binary technologiats in the world. When you filled out the form, you had to list that you were a woman or non-binary to attend.
During the opening ceremony, the chief diversity officer, who was not scheduled to speak, got on the stage to advise us that spots for women were taken by men who marked themselves as women/non-binary who then used pronouns "he/him" to officially register. He advised us that these cisgender men took the spots of women and non-binary people who had tried to register.
There are more men here than there are supposed to be. One guy had his mother come and try to register with us. They are taking opportunities that were set aside for us, including the onsite interviews and meeting with top professionals and companies around the world. The chief diversity officer announced that they stole those spots unfairly. Great for him to speak up, but it's bullshit that this happened. Cisgender men do not need more opportunities in tech. They are the majority. We need those spots. Underserved people and communities need those spots.
Edit: I didn't want this to become a non-binary, trans, or post against people who truly were invited to this event. It is about the large number of, statistically speaking, most likely cismen taking spots of underrepresented women in technology, our trans-sisters, and the truly non-binary.

@Grue how would you prove your truly enby

Frick if I know. In my experience it's a matter of knowing yourself and your own truth, and whether other people believe you or not is outside of it.
If I really wanted to try to make someone believe I am non-binary, in person, it'd have to be someone I have a relationship with already and then have a conversation about what non-binary means to me. But all I'd have is words and the good faith of who I'm talking to.

They're getting woke in the enby question, run grue before they catch you.

Enby only spaces sounds a lil silly to me, but so does exclusively binary trans spaces. Like, would they exclude a gender-fluid? A she-it transwoman? No pronouns people on HRT?
But these questions are entirely academic because I built my own communities and they center more on the philosophical argument against sanity than anything. And I'm not going to be welcomed into any progressive spaces anyway.

"We don't want you here, but we're phrasing it differently so we can't get in trouble for violating your civil rights"
Where have I heard that before?
What's really funny about this issue is that it's basically a guy saying "we're completely dropping racial politics from our platform because people don't care about that any longer" and redditors (derogatory) still quote it as being about how economics is racial politics.

All the comments are saying you can't kick the scrotes out because they might be people of gender. TERFs had it right all along

What are they gonna do? A genital inspection? These "people" are so regressive in their mindset. If George Floyd were still alive they'd want to name and shame him too if he attempted to go to this event. Grace Hopper is probably rolling in her grave when terfs and chuds like this are using her name in such a discriminatory light.

B-word bye 😂😂😂😂 what's cringe is you stereotyping everyone on the planet who smokes weed. The only person here who's awkward, boring, lame and living in a haze here is you buddy. As someone who smokes weed everyday, I love doing things while smoking weed. Whether it be hiking, yoga, working out, studying or reading a book. On top of all of that, I have my own business and I'm getting a degree in Kinesiology. 😂😂😂 also, getting realizations are fun. Maybe you should smoke some weed one day so you can realize how you're projecting your own cringe personality on the rest of your pothead “friends.”
