Remembering Lynn Conway, Tech Visionary that Transphobia Almost Erased
It’s Pride Month, which is a great time to be thinking about the LGBTQ people who have been beacons of the vastness of what is possible for our communities.

She passed away this week at the age of 86, but her legacy and many contributions will be with us forever.
