Author: please remember that race and gender are just social constructs. I usually refactor myself into a Straight White Male when going to conferences, just to get along. So far so good, but one day at the zoo I got distracted and turned into a panda by sheer willpower. After that it took a while to wean off bamboo leaves. If you see anybody gnawing on a bamboo stick at PyCon, please do not post any pictures on Twitter. Thanks.
