The first programmer was a woman (Ada Lovelace), the person who laid the foundation for all modern computing was gay (Alan Turing), and the person who revolutionized modern chip design was trans (Lynn Conway). Computer science history is filled with queerness and diversity.

How dare you forget Sophie Wilson, inventor of the ARM chip (which exists in literally every phone pretty much since... 1997?) ๐Ÿ˜†

She also partakes in Europython (though not sure if she joined this year, but she was there last year, even though I missed both xD), for the Python nerds.

Oh wow I didn't know she was trans, that's super cool
