If they can code, and do it without disrupting the org, great. ...and they can! Tech is a meritocracy. Credentials and background don't matter. It's famously welcoming to gays, trans, spergs, immigrants, and others. IF... (a) they can do the job (b) they don't ruin the culture https://twitter.com/aprilwensel/status/991817667056091136 …

3/ You're saying that you think you have the right to go into a minority's safe space and demand that they change to suit YOU? That's both bigoted and insanely privileged, don't you think? Why not create your own space instead of appropriating ours? https://twitter.com/aprilwensel/status/991830723278458880?s=19 …

4/ Your bigotry was in your dismissive & ridiculing tone; it was NOT OK. You should take this call-out as a wake-up, think about your unconscious bigotry and do some work on yourself.

5/ Introverts. Spergs. Neuro-non-typicals. We thrive on minimal interactions, low-emotion discussions, and meritocracy, and we CREATED this space.

I don't know why some people cannot grasp that an act which is coerced is not compassion. Are you morally culpable for doing something bad with a gun to your head? No? Neither can you claim credit for doing something good with a gun to your head.

Teaching people to do something good, OR ELSE, does not create moral individuals who do good when left to their own devices. It destroys moral agency.
