summary
Five years of industry work turn into concrete tactics and outcomes: a personal shopper moment sparks a switch to dresses and different treatment, a three-strikes rule for spotting toxic colleagues, therapy plus a saved fuck off fund enables quitting a bad job, and becoming an independent contractor gives real exit power. A meetup, Queer Code London, and private Slack groups create safety; using a Slack emoji raising-hand and asking allies to repeat ideas prove small, effective interventions against microaggressions.
