I was chatting with someone the other day, and during the conversation, it sounded like they would benefit from pair programming with someone and talking about the benefits of pseudocode. I offered to work on it with them (for free/for fun).

Then they said that they are looking specifically for queer and non-traditional gender identities to collaborate with.

Well. I've always been a supporter of all of the things, but it seems ridiculous to choose your friends and mentors - based on what they've got in their pants - and which places they like to stick it - and how they identify.

Immaturity comes in all flavors.

When you’re only willing to work with people of similar persuasion, sounds like the thing they argue against in the workplace. Does not compute, for any pronoun.

Discrimination breeds discrimination.

I really hate how insane the world has become.

@atrabilious It's a personal preference specifically outside a workplace and those must never be denied. That's a cornerstone of handling inclusivity and equality as a public concern; business practices can be scrutinized without rightful fear of a slippery slope because they are strictly isolated from the personal lives of all parties involved.

But I agree that it's childish.

If you are employing people or choosing friends based on their race, gender or persuasion, you've ended up at back at the same place you were supposed to be getting away from.
