LeylaaLovee,

Queer people are key players in technical innovation. Anybody else remember that open source number tool that a trans gay furry had been maintaining themselves for like 30 years? Or Burger Becky, a lead programmer behind many well loved games such as the OG Fallout. One of the main inventors of the ARM architecture we use on all our phones is a trans woman.

Urs Hölzle was a huge player in Google Search engineering.
