What are you saying? She was assassinated?

I think what the previous person was referring to was stuff like how IBM fired her in 1968 once she told her bosses she wanted to transition. That's despite the fact that she did major industry shaping work there

I was also thinking about how Turing was treated. Queer people were foundational to computer science, yet it's still rife with bigots that think people like us don't belong.
