Learn how to be a better ally through the triumphs and foibles of the people who came before you: an educational comedy of errors, based on my experiences and knowledge as a non-binary person in tech.
Room F1+F2+F3 - Plenary
Anyone in tech who wishes to be a better ally
Gender seems very simple at first glance, but the more you find out, the more you realise you don't know - and the more daunting and confusing it is to find answers.
What does it mean to be non-binary, and why are there so many non-binary genders?
How can you minimise harm and be an effective ally to non-binary people in your team or under your management? I find myself having to answer these questions everywhere I go because there aren't enough individuals in the industry who know, or who have taken the time to learn.
So this is a 101 on how to get started, in the hope that one day soon myself and other non-binary people won't have to explain ourselves to every new company, teammate or manager.
