I think it is great that you made this. My question for you. Are people who happen to be white, straight and male allowed to be part of this? I think it's important to avoid creating another separation.

I just so happen to be a white, straight male and I've seen a lot of crazy things come to play over the past few years that have made it feel like it's a bad thing that I just so happen to fall under that category.

I started coding at 11, self taught. Never got a break, had to earn my way. Worked on teams full of culture, different sexes, and sexualities.

If this is something created to take the focus and put it on those unnoticed, I strongly support this! I think everyone should get fair treatment.

If this another thing to say "white straight men get everything" then that makes me so sad, because coming to Dev.to, I thought I could finally escape that type of stuff, and just focus on code and meeting like minded people.
