Pretty incredible and great that IBM apologized to engineer Lynn Conway who is now 82 y.o. In 1968, Thomas Watson, Jr. ordered her fired because she was transitioning. An irony not mentioned is that one of Watson's five daughters, Olive, is an out lesbian.https://t.co/phBS167tu8

Lynn Conway was one of the company’s most promising young computer engineers but after confiding to supervisors that she was transgender, they fired her. https://t.co/4oxksgEVvP

She was a rising star at IBM in 1968. Then executives found out she was transgender and fired her. 52 years later, the company apologized. https://t.co/bZAfgwQm4v

I feel so fortunate to know @lynnconway. Her genius, boundless curiosity, and enthusiasm for life are unequalled. A pioneer in Computer Science, she invented scalable MOS design rules, and helped to launch the VLSI revolution in the '70s. https://t.co/OyKkYwQgmm
