Can someone tell me where all the trans FOSS devs/enthusiasts hang out IRL, I need friends 🥺
~Signed, a lonely trans FOSS enthusiast (not a programmer sadly, maybe I just need thigh high socks...)
Trans dev here, I hear that hacker spaces aren't bad places to look. I wouldn't know though, too shy to actually show up -.-
Depends on the culture of the space. For cis white males, no problem. Anyone outside that description, though, you might have to hunt to find one that's welcoming.
The makerspace I helped get off the ground is far from perfect, but we try. It was started in the first place because the existing makerspace in town was very much not welcoming to people outside of cis white males. Around 25% of our membership identifies as not male (which is really high for a makerspace, but we can do better). A super majority of the current board is also non-male identifying.
Even there, we're still pretty white.
