yeah sorry I don't have that sort of mental health to be able to just continually throw myself at a wall for years on end when there ain't even a person on the other side.

If they're amab and self identifying as nonbinary, they'd be transgender by definition.

How do you distinguish between the people who genuinely identify as nonbinary and those who are dishonestly doing it?

I'm a woman and wasn't even at the event. No clue it was going on, and it seems like it'd be far too expensive for me to attend in the first place. If they're looking for women who are eager to work for them, they're looking in the wrong place.

>hiring for entry level

>saying people are underqualified

The problem is with the companies, not the job seekers. Actually offer true entry level positions, and actually hire the people that apply.

I'm a trans woman and don't bother applying because I know that my resume isn't even looked at, and the interview hurdles are just so high that they'll just say no anyway. What's the point if companies refuse to hire me?

Tech is overcrowded as a field and it gets worse each year. So yes.

So they identified as men, and the event allowed the men to come? Then I'm failing to see what the issue is?

Docked my grades for literally no reason other than that he didn't like me. I always got perfect scores in school, got a B in his class simply because he didn't like me. Parents had to make a huge fuss about it which lead to the grade being corrected.

yup, honestly I kinda use it more than kbin/lemmy. kinda hard to find content I'm after here.

There's a difference between understanding "this isn't going to be what it looks like, it'll look like wood" and actually being able to visualize and "see" the wood version in your head prior to completion.

So looking at your grey version, someone with aphantasia (who isn't a moron) might be like "I can't visualize/imagine it as wood, could I see what that looks like?", as in they understand it will be wood, but may have no clue what that actually looks like until it's in front of them.

What you're describing just sounds like a run of the mill idiot who also may have aphantasia.

yup. I thought I had aphantasia for a while because of this. Turns out, no. People with aphantasia can't even do that #2 type. They're just completely incapable of handling images or 3d scenes in their mind at all.
