an engineer confronts him in a Q&A session about his bias towards engineers. John just blows up. He accuses techies of being quiet &boring, while at the same time accusing them of being the people who are bashing trans people. He's very inconsistent and is just good at being loud.
Oh, and he's also a transplant from NYC, so if we're supposed to buy into his transplant-hate, we should hate him too.
- JesperRavn 11y agoIn my high school they didn't know the word "techie" so they had a different word for kids they considered quite and boring. Ironically it was the same word they used to describe people like John.
- amyjess 11y agoAs a trans techie (and a lesbian at that), I already can't stand John. This guy is nuts. Tech is the single most friendly industry for trans people; there's a reason why working in tech is a transfeminine stereotype.
