I could've mentioned I'm trans in the parent post. But I know there is a downvote reflex on this website for merely implying you might be part of a somewhat disadvantaged minority. Glad to see it somehow ended up at +3. I should really note that while I initially thought of myself definitely being too weird by default to have any leeway to pick my weirdness, other less distinct people have that too, depending on the field you work in. Just being a woman in a technical role comes with a lot of people assuming you have no idea what you're doing, and pushing back against that is some of your "weirdness" spent. (also, it's really weird to slowly male-fail and get put into that bucket too with people you haven't previously worked with, having the means to compare)
