   Now, I know how men view me. How they view anyone they consider an attractive object to pursue. I've lived my *life* in this body.

   I've also fought tooth and nail to be seen as skilled, capable, expert. I focus on that.

   But I *know* this man's outer dialogue is a massive amount of how most men quietly see me, especially in this regressive fucking industry.

   And then people tell me "he's a nice guy". And "I've never seen him do that!"

   It's the gaslighting that will make me give up.

     Having a fine time at ToorCamp this time.

     But before I forget, or shove it down deep, I want to mention something that happened

     In my own city, in my local hackerspace.

     At an afterparty for Teardown

     An admin of the space said to me:

     "Wow, you have such a nice flat belly, good and thin"

     And, when I went mute from shocked discomfort,

     "It's just nice to have someone actually attractive in here for once"

     There was more

     I'm just still speechless. The anger too raw

     I want people to know tho
