so far the main affect this has had on adult transpeople here in tampa has been that everyone had to sign a new form when they reupped their HRT saying "you are a DIRTY loving SINNER and this is POISON that will KILL YOU sign here if you are ok with this" however if you're under 18 and trans you are ultra hosed

it’s also home to a forgettable basketball team owned by Erik Princes family the way I tell the two apart is that every basketball player or athlete is pumped to get traded to Miami and actively avoids every other city like the plague (except Tampa for hockey)

as a Woman in tech ive found you'll have a much easier time if you accept that most institutional DEI stuff is about appearing to Do Something and getting the people who are already underrepped to do a bunch of extra, uncompensated labor.

honestly don't know that it is a joke about anything at all. the differentiation involved in the "it's fine if you are x" is so tiring. but more so for you than me so probably shouldn't comment. though i am tired.

Our university's dei program amounts to "we will do absolutely everything to make sure that people of all kinds are represented, supported, and respected at the university, except for paying anyone enough money to raise a family." Every year we have this town hall with the administration: "What can we do to stop losing our diverse faculty to other universities?" "Pay a competitive wage, which is especially important for scholars of color because they usually have less generational wealth than your average white professor with two white university professor parents." "Anything EXCEPT that!!"  "can't we come up with a committee or an initiative instead?"

we dont have a dei program but no one has noticed that like 2/3 of the people ive pushed to hire are women of color like yeah, id prefer if it were easier to just openly say 'hey we should be more representative because that's good' but if thats not possible (because my company is run by white male nerds who go beep boop most advanced diploma is most important), im just going to quietly do this dei thing from the shadows

Honestly, I think that a huge step towards more diversity in tech would be to stop having such strict requirements on the backgrounds of applicants. Almost every time I've refered a woman / person of color / lgbt person / whoever, they've been rejected without so much a phone screen because they don't have the exact technical degree or exact experience that the recruiter is looking for. I know they can do the job well, but they don't even get a chance to try to demonstrate that! The narrow technical fields that companies are hiring from are overwhelmingly white, male, and cis, so of course they will have trouble with diversity if they insist on only hiring from that pool of people. caveat: I'm a white dude, so treat this dei opinion accordingly

I still get asked about my degree and course work by recruiters and I graduated 25 years ago or my favorite mega-elitist question "so why haven't you gone to grad school?"

hiring a bunch of people is one thing. then if you keep PIPing them or every one leaves with way less tenure than comparable white cis guys for mysterious, unknowable reasons, your numbers won’t go up. interesting. much too consider.

I had to give a PII sharing permission to my university so HR could validate my degree was real, pretty sure my first job after graduation didn't actually do that but hey, maybe I was cheesing it for the last 15 years?
