Hmm, somehow I knew Justine is a 'transwoman' by this feat. Lucky guess I suppose...

Question: if all the high achieving women in tech end up being 'transwomen', is that a step forward or backward for women in tech? Will 'transwomen' be able to take advantage of hiring privileges given to normal women? If so, won't this effectively shut normal women out of tech even more?

I think trans/self identifying people should be in a separate category so they don't exploit allowances made for under represented minorities.
