I have had women piss all over me about how I don't speak for all women or something, never mind that I never claimed to When people start associating politics with immutable surface characteristics, then watch out. By their actions, they are implicitly advertising that such surface-stuff is more important to them than the content of your character. In the old days, we called that bigotry. Thanks you very much for writing this. I am also in tech and I was also homeless for 4 months, though mine was a bourgeois version spent in AirBNBs. (It started out with a physical assault on me, however.) It's good to know I'm not the only one and good perspective to know that others have been strong enough to survive much worse.
