It is changing, you're right. I see things getting better all the time - but then I am very bluntly pulled back down to earth with the reality of things such as this still happening. There is indeed something admirable in sticking it out, but I am very familiar with the internal conversation that happens when thinking about that: is it worth it? Do I care about this so much that I would put my own well-being and potential safety below making a minuscule dent on a demographic that very clearly doesn't want me in the first place? It is part of the reason why I don't use Twitter or for that matter have much of a web presence at all. It's exhausting enough having internalized stereotype threat and imposter syndrome to the point of being silent, let alone having so many others confirm as much to be their ultimatum. I can't say I blame anyone for being upset at that.
