Hey dudes. Doxxing a trans woman to the organisers of a women in tech event is not helpful or appreciated. We see what you’re doing, and we don’t support it. We support her.

It’s also worth noting that we don’t hold all women hackathons because we think that’s the only way women can win these things. Programming is not the Olympics. We do it because we want to learn from and support other women in the industry.

Faux concern that other participants will be upset when they inevitably lose to a trans woman is missing the point by, like, a hundred million miles. So please don’t go there.</rant>
