Lynn Conway, who died Sunday at 85, was a leader in the development of personal computers and microprocessor technology, and a symbol for generations of transgender individuals.

I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don’t think she would have taken much issue with it. This piece is more focused on her work in computer engineering, so I felt it was appropriate to post here.

    Why though? You were that gender, and then you transitioned to what you are now.

    Just because you weren’t happy as your birth gender doesn’t mean that it didn’t exist.
