📣This is an excellent thread AND I wanted to add my own thoughts 💖📣
The ways that nuerodivergence and invisible disabilities impact peoples lives is not to be taken lightly. It’s insidious and unjust but there is a need to apply intersectionality in this movement for equity.

I care about advancement, support, access to the “the table” and safety for all people no matter their background, gender, ability or sexual orientation.
BUT
To hold conversation in any meaningful way we have to agree on fundamental facts + listen to lived experience.

The ways that women, trans people, black people and people of color are systematically disenfranchised, dimished and out right suffer assault on a grand scale is so disproportionate.
Entire black communities have been destroyed and had parks like Central Park built over them.

There is literal legislation out there, right now designed to invalidate my and other trans people like me the human right to access to medical services and care.
Trans people are routinely murdered and forgotten.

How many trans people work at your company?
in some territories, it is not even safe to talk about us.
in some countries, you can murder us without repercussions.
we are told that we do not exist, that we do not deserve agency over our own bodies.

If you are a cis straight white man, how many of your coworkers, peers and people in your community have you told your salary to?
I mean this as a serious question.

When the gender pay gap ceases to exist + average picture of a heavily funded game company represents the actual racial and ethnic diversity that exists in our world, then we can be more tolerant of them picking up things designed to support us & “does this belong to me?”
Take a look at @GenderPayGapUK and scroll through the feed and see just how many companies platform themselves to talk about how much they value women and then undermine them by paying them less.
and not just a little less, but by massive life-changing disproportions.

I don’t like to make snarky tweets like this, because the attitude makes some people stop at the tone of how something was delivered and not engage further with their own education and empathy.
