Any fellow women and trans people about?
It’s hard to get a real impression so I thought I’d ask since it’s been nice to get a sense of where everyone is from

I appreciate the wish to get a real impression of the Ziggit community. And I really hope its a diverse place were every person feels comfortable.
However, since IT/coding/“computer nerdy stuff” is a domain very likely (still) to a big amount a domain publicly represented by (white?) cis-men, it would be very understandable if people not belonging to this group don’t want to identify themselves in public. Unfortunately, the web, no most of our societies are still very biased regarding those things.
But I really hope that I am (or, at least, will be) wrong!
Btw. Being a member of this male white cis men group, I might be (un)conciously biased as well…

I don’t expect people to say anything they aren’t comfortable with, but I feel lonely not saying anything

Yes, my comment wasn’t meant as critic in any aspect. I’m sorry if it conveyed that impression. Just wanted to point out that this topic might be much more sensitive than the one regarding native language
Here’s my interpretation of this:
- OP takes a small social risk to identify as a woman
- You reply with something vaguely negative, that leaves enough ambiguity to cover your ass while still producing an emotional effect that pushes OP away
This is an anti social thing to do. I personally want to interact with more women in the tech-related spaces that I inhabit. I’m certain that many people feel the same way I do. And it’s people like you doing shit like this preventing that from happening.
I think you should apologize. I don’t want to hear any excuses. If you can’t read the room then do some self-reflecting, think harder, and try again.
