.@preskill when you coined name you had no bad intentions. I am aware of that. But I hope you help us create better inclusive communities. I don't know about issues in quantum community, but from my experience with #neurips name change can bring a sea of positive change

During #protestNIPS name change movement, women were primarily attacked and trolled. I even got gun threats. It was an extremely stressful period for us. Some of them came from @sapinker followers after he attacked us and ridiculed us.

Scott unfriended me on Facebook because I called out his terrible judgement to invite @sapinker to write about #protestNIPS These so-called enlightened scientists have terrible blindspots that their egos prevent them ever overcoming. Truly disappointing!

Both Scott and @sapinker could have spent holidays with their families peacefully, as I had planned to do. Instead, they spread toxicity and shut down voices who are marginalized and facing discrimination in our scientific communities. #meToo #meTooSTEM

#holiday toxicity from Scott continues. He doesn't have the courage to face supporters on my Twitter feed, instead he prefers to continue to rant in his own echo chamber. Unfriending me is a courtesy to me! not giving me credit for bringing up issue is a credit to me!pic.twitter.com/HJ68lW5XLA

One more toxic comment from Scott Aaronson. His misogyny in full display. Only men make sense to him.pic.twitter.com/avyJ6pgvPm

Sadly Scott Aaronson closed his thread and didn't even let me address. Very definition of silencing. He equates struggles of women and minorities to aspbergery males! The tone deaf nature of his comments is truly disappointing. He squandered a valuable opportunity to be an ally.pic.twitter.com/XkZtm2f6nN

Replying to @AnimaAnandkumar @sapinker

Echoing @nsaphra, please don't be too dismissive of the struggles that people with autism face. I think there's room talk about struggles of more than one type. I think @celestekidd talk at #NeurIPS2019 was full of compassion. We can all use more compassion in this world.

Thanks for flagging it @yisongyue My intention was to flag Scott trying to equate his struggles as a man on spectrum with struggles of women and minorities. The two are not equal by any means. I have utmost empathy for people on spectrum since I am actually one.

  Ah, ok, then I stand corrected! Tweeting on complex issues is always hard. Sometimes, I feel like we all need "pair tweeting" a la pair programming.
