Recognizing an inspiring woman for Ada Lovelace Day: Haskell hacker Audrey Tang

fsf.org

Maybe not the best example given the focus of the article on inspiring women, since according to Wikipedia Audrey was born male? I thought that might deserve a mention. In fact I wonder if the author even knows? Or maybe better, just focus on the Audrey as an aspiring person?

Hooray, transmisogyny (as mentioned in the article)! Maybe you should be more respectful to LGBTQ folks and not misgender them. You're like all the self-proclaimed Chelsea Manning "supporters".

No disrespect intended (or involved at all, in my view), she was born male. Curious how you would describe the situation at birth though?

She's just not cisgender; she's trans. That doesn't make her less of a woman.

Children are trans too. It happens every time a doctor coercively assigns a baby's gender and ends up being wrong.

Either way, women are women, and this one is an inspiration.
