  • Are tomboys allowed to play chess? Do I have to wear a skirt and be straight? My psychologist told me I was socialized as a girl, but does that make me eligible to play chess? I have normal thoughts and reactions for a woman and men intimidate me more than you will ever know. Can I please play now? Ugh, you know what, this women’s league stuff is a another example of men making up rules for me again. Count me out.












  • I was a bit into my transition when a colleague started explaining the basics of VHDL to me after I had pointed out to him that the bug in his design had all the hallmarks of an off-by-one. (Thanks, buddy, I have a postgraduate degree in this). I was so baffled because that sort of stuff had never happened to me before.

    Then he was going over the code and explaining how there is no off-by-one when I pointed out that his integer type was indeed one bit smaller than it needed to be.

    He of course tried to take credit for fixing that bug, but guess which girl was the one with merge permissions in gitlab.

    I’ve also had several men try to explain to me how the vending machine in the office works, even as I was using it. That one gives me a laugh every time.
