Pressure from employees at tech and social media companies has been one of the few things that has been effective in getting these companies to change their policies. What you do, what you say, and what you agree to build in these times matters a lot.

@evacide my experience has been that you can exhaust yourself trying to resist these top-down policies from within, and then they happen anyway. We can't rely on employees for change, especially as it tends to land on the shoulders of the most vulnerable employees to resist.

@RubyJones @evacide Your are correct. Change (Real change) does not happen from the bottom, it happens from the top. If people at the top are not on board, good luck.

@silfra @RubyJones If I thought that was true, my workplace would not be unionized.

@evacide @silfra Yeah, I would not agree at all that real change only happens from the top - that's not at all what I said and sounds like defeatist, dangerous crap. But if you want change, relying on employees within a company to do it is risky and risks vulnerable people. Regulation and in this case adequate laws against hate speech that support trans people, are really important in supporting employees.

@RubyJones @evacide

Thats true. On civil rights matters, laws are a must. I'm sorry I misunderstood the conversation.
