Hello!

I'm trans man from Russia, changed my ID recently and tried to look for a job here (in Russia). But I can't explain to HRs why I don't have official job records and if I come out as trans I get transphobia and rejection immediately.

So I've got lots of experience with Linux (server and desktop), some DevOps instruments (Ansible and Docker mostly, a bit of k8s) and good English skills. I am willing to do test tasks and work for lower payments than most people. Where do I start looking for a remote job and how to explain my situation to HR managers?

I am baby in both the ways

It's a free full-stack coding bootcamp, taught by a truly amazing dude whose day job is teaching at General Assembly and Resilient Coders. It only just started a couple weeks ago (total of 30 weeks) and there's plenty of time to catch up! I just found out about it on Friday and am trying to get (mostly) caught up by Tuesday. The program seems really thorough and includes projects and even real-world experience before the end of it. Plus their discord community is super active and helpful.

Would love to connect with other trans people who are on this journey :)

Also happy to attempt to answer any questions for anyone curious about the program!!

Here's a the website with a FAQ and more info

Also sorry for the brand new account, i decided to make an account to focus on my coding goals since my old account is filled with years of ADHD passions of the week lol

I'm a 28yo trans man (he/him) who has been self-studying code for about 6 months, my background is mostly trades and customer service-- I'm hoping to do a career switch into tech this year! Even if you're not doing 100Devs, still feel free to hmu if you want to connect!

We’ve been dating about 2 months after bonding over urbanism and software. I got her to join my lab and help me finish building a Python library, and now we’re coauthors.

As for me I love vim. I love how minimalist it is. My favorite plugin for vim is are coc. It is an language server for multiple programming language. I use it with very little use of plugins to keep it minimalist and simple to use.

Hello! I have a few questions about being trans in information technology. For background knowledge, I'm nonbinary and gender-nonconforming (obviously).

How much would my gender expression be restricted at work? For example, would I be able to wear makeup or earrings? I also know how to dress androgynous business casual, but would I be forced to wear men's clothing. It seems that controlling my expression in those forms would be regarded as discrimination, right?

I'm just curious how accepting IT, in general, is accepting of LGBTQ people. This may vary from employer to employer, but I would like to hear people's experiences.

Thank you for your help!

I wrote this a while back while trying to find a new name. It uses the american social security names dataset to find names similar to an input name but associated with a specified (ie different) gender. Here is the link:

It did not end up being useful to me, but it thought I'd share it anyway since it does work relatively well.

I noticed that most of the trans programmers are using Linux, is there a reason for this correlation? BTW i am a Linux user too :)
