Hi other tech folks! Does anyone have recommendations for trans-friendly recruiters on the West Coast?
I’m a lead product manager with around a decade of experience. Looking to shift back to a salaried position after consulting the last couple years.
Reposts appreciated, thanks!

If only there had been signs that a group of below average men who espouse misogynist views and are led by an adjudicated rapist would treat their female colleagues poorly.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Actually, leftover scumbags from the NIXON administration.
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Roger Ailes, Roger Stone, Kissinger, all should have died in prison at a bare minimum. The George W Bush administration would never have even happened if we didn't let this nest of fascist ratfuckers fester.

The main reason we're in this situation is a bunch of war criminal shitbags from the Reagan administration paved the way for fascism.
And the best thing you can do is ask the grunts not to follow illegal orders. What about your part of the bargain?
