Transphobia in cybersecurity 🥺

I’m honestly shaken at the number of infosec people, particularly women, who are endorsing and spouting Russian transphobic misinformation about Olympic athletes with added hateful TERF rhetoric. In public, right in front of queer and trans peers. Some I used to consider friends. We all see all of it. It’s absolute hell for trans community members. We need to be calling this crap out for what it is.

My criticism isn't about the fact. It's about the optics. Anyone that has any possibility of being moved is likely to disregard once the Russian connection is mentioned because they will always assume that Russia getting blamed makes it fake.

@Netux @hacks4pancakes But the role of Russian interests is inseparable from the story.
