Summary: my name is Leah. please call me that now if you ever meet me publicly. IRC log of #libreboot today (vimuser is me): 2016-05-05 19:43:47 @vimuser so... there's never a good time to come out publicly. doesn't matter if I do it now, or in 2 years from now. I'd rather do it now, because I'm going insane by not doing it. 2016-05-05 19:43:47 @vimuser I've recently started using a different name privately with all my friends. Most core libreboot developers know me by this name too, and have kept it private. Please call me Leah from now on (or just vimuser. since... that's my name on IRC). And please don't he, sir or dude me. I'm not a guy. Libreboot was founded by a woman (me. I'm transgender). 2016-05-05 19:43:47 @vimuser This is why I push commits now and list my copyrights under my company name recently. I was "hiding". I don't want to hide anymore. I've already started transitioning (early stages. currently just cosmetics. I'm looking for a way to start on voice training) 2016-05-05 19:43:47 * vimuser will get back to what she was doing, and hopes noone makes a big deal out of all of this. I'm normal, just like everyone else. I just want to get on with my life, and continue working on libreboot/minifree. 2016-05-05 19:43:47 @vimuser I'll probably continue using my company name on my commits though. It looks more professional IMO, and I'm currently undecided on a surname. I have one I've chosen that I really like, but I'm only 95% sure I'll keep it. 2016-05-05 19:43:47 @vimuser nully: thum: tpearson: paulk-collins and others: it's safe to call me Leah in public now. I don't care anymore. 2016-05-05 19:44:08 @vimuser now I'm going to have a heart attack and be super nervous while cycling home, and be paranoid all day 2016-05-05 19:45:42 thum allrighty then :) 2016-05-05 19:47:59 --> jarhead ([email protected]) has joined #libreboot 2016-05-05 19:48:57 SylvieLorxu vimuser: You know you have my respect and support, and I'm sure many will follow me :) 2016-05-05 19:49:02 <-- user123irc ([email protected]) has quit (Remote host closed the connection) 2016-05-05 19:49:27 --> user123irc ([email protected]) has joined #libreboot 2016-05-05 19:50:03 SylvieLorxu And the few that may not, if any such people are even around here, they need YOU for THEIR security and privacy, you don't need them, so that's their issue, not yours :) 2016-05-05 19:50:23 SylvieLorxu But I'm sure you'll see the feedback will be overwhelmingly positive 2016-05-05 19:50:59 thum isn't "overwhelmingly positive" an oxymoron? ;) 2016-05-05 19:51:04 jarhead Hello what did I miss? 2016-05-05 19:52:20 GNUtoo-irssi paulk-collins: did you push your changes in a branch? 2016-05-05 19:53:50 GNUtoo-irssi vimuser: no need to be paranoid on that 2016-05-05 19:55:00 GNUtoo-irssi That kind of freedom is progressing 2016-05-05 19:55:54 GNUtoo-irssi This is something that is pushed strongly by the establishment in many countries 2016-05-05 19:56:04 GNUtoo-irssi so no need to fear 2016-05-05 19:56:12 GNUtoo-irssi on some other countries it's the opposite 2016-05-05 19:56:32 GNUtoo-irssi I belive that in England it's pushed by the establishment 2016-05-05 19:57:03 GNUtoo-irssi I strongly support such rights, but not the establishment 2016-05-05 19:58:09 <-- js ([email protected]) has quit (Excess Flood) 2016-05-05 19:58:18 --> js ([email protected]) has joined #libreboot 2016-05-05 20:15:15 <-- zaolin ([email protected]) has quit (Quit: Leaving.) 2016-05-05 20:17:33 --> zaolin ([email protected]) has joined #libreboot 2016-05-05 20:22:27 <-- zaolin ([email protected]) has quit (Quit: Leaving.) 2016-05-05 20:22:32 --> zaolin1 ([email protected]) has joined #libreboot 2016-05-05 20:23:13 jgay vimuser, \o/ 2016-05-05 20:27:40 _0bitcount vimuser, do you know about Martine Rothblatt?
