      I had been planning on adding a thread going into further details about targeted harassment and the steps I’ve had to take to stay safe. But I don’t want to talk about me. I want to talk about trans rights.

      If your software collects gender markers and performs archival backups, your data can be used to identify trans people.

      If your software collects names and performs archival backups, your data can be used to identify trans people.

      If your software collects names or gender markers AND location data while performing archival backups, your data can be used to identify and locate trans people. How are you protecting your trans users? I guarantee it’s not enough.

          Any tech company of a certain size will have a security team briefed on nation state attacks. But what if it’s not China installing backdoors, but the US govt on your doorstep? What’s your mitigation plan then?

          Someone at your company MUST be thinking about this. Someone at your company MUST have the authority and resources to plan for this.

          Because it starts with the small demographics. It starts with the people who are disenfranchised and unsupported. And then it spreads. Think about how you’ll protect trans people. Soon you’ll be protecting everyone.

          I know it’s not the popular path right now. I know it’s not “sexy” or “business critical” but I assure you, it is human critical. These are human lives on your boardroom table.

          The Holocaust could not have happened at such speed and scope without IBM. Such brilliant technology and brilliant technologists enabled mass genocide. Don’t let it happen again.

          I know I am followed by tech leaders. Writers. Reporters. People with political connections. You have the power to prevent this. I am beseeching you, as a human being, to act. Take a stand.

          If your software does that, I'm fairly certain it would be in violation of GDPR.
