I really want to know more about what makes this space more "feminist, woman-centered, and trans- and queer-inclusive" then any other space specifically. 

I know that most hacker spaces would love to be more inclusive in those ways, but most of us know first hand that just declaring something an inclusive or safe space doesn't make it one. I'd be curious to know how specifically they are going about organizing around the idea of gender and sexuality inclusiveness.

As a queer hacker desiring more queer/fem/trans/POC friendly spaces this excites me! Thanks for sharing! :)

Awesome!

I would love to brainstorm about how to make Sudo Room as welcoming as possible to queer/trans/fem/etc people.
I'm genderqueer and if anyone has questions about how to be kind to genderqueer and trans people I would really love to have a friendly conversation about it.

Relatedly, there's a women/trans/non-male group at Noisebridge

Also BTW there's a free programming boot camp for trans people in SF:

who prefers "them/they" pronouns


P.S. Also of course there are many kinds of inclusivity to strive for in addition to this

This just came across the wire.  A fem/queer/trans positive hackerspace
just opened in Seattle called the Seattle Attic!  Check it out:

Perhaps we should open up some lines of west-coast communication and
dialogue and invite them to visit our space.  Sounds like an awesome
place and somewhere I'd like to check out some day.
