it seems like diversity and inclusion are at odds. id like to feel okay with my unfasionable identity, too. highlighting how different i am from others helps to discourage inclusion by them-ing my peers.
- agentultra 9y agoThe intention of "normal as hell," is not to make us all brothers and sisters. Variety is the spice of life and it takes all kinds to make good software. The spirit is one where we're not living in a system that encourages to sub-consciously bias ourselves against others. I'd like it if my friends didn't have to succeed in spite of all the time whereas I get a (pretty much) free ride.
