If you have a problem with trans people at all, please unfollow and go live in a deserted island, because modern computing and electronics wouldn't exist without them.

@marcan *raises hand* I have a problem with several trans people, they live too far and I can't go visit them :(

@marcan this same goes for anyone with a problem with queer people in general. We've built this world that everyone benefits from

@marcan
I have a problem with the 'because" 🥴
It sounds like you shouldn't have a problem with trans people because of their contribution. Were I belive (and I guess you too) that you shouldn't have a problem with trans people.

@realn2s This is largely a response to transphobes saying stuff like "I won't use $thing if it's developed by t*slur*".

@marcan There's a long list of famous entries on this list. Of the top of my head: Lynn Conway (extremely influential work on VLSI) and Sophie Wilson (creator of the Arm ISA).

@tommythorn Those two were the ones I had in mind :)

I can't believe more people don't know about Lynn Conway. Not just VLSI, also invented a critical technique for out-of-order execution.

@marcan Exactly. I regret not linking the Wikipedia page with all her outstanding achievements.
