I care because recent research highlights how biases against women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, or transgender are particularly strong in STEM environments compared to other occupational fields. @500QueerSci #queerinstem https://t.co/28q4RHGHSg

Amazing thread on the published literature about LGBTQ+ experience in STEM, including the pink pay gap, stereotypes, and the intersection between a woman in STEM and being queer. Spoiler alert: as with all things, it's complicated!

Thread about LGBTQ+ experiences in STEM
One study we cite a lot here is Cech & Pham’s assessment of LGBTQ+ feds in STEM agencies. Spoiler alert: They report more negative workplace experiences than their non-LGBTQ+ colleagues. https://t.co/WxiCFLzqYY
Alas, Tech is no more accepting of LGBT employees than any other sector, and in some ways is especially bad. “LGBT employees indeed encounter disadvantages in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) organizations.” Open Access https://t.co/H1mG
@grimalkina But I've read studies and meta-studies going both ways (e.g. : this argues widespread negative experiences in STEM-related agencies https://t.co/mqbXAFmgdA) so I don't really know.
What we're reading - research on lack of inclusion for LGBTQ STEM employees by Erin Cech and Michelle Pham @UMSociology https://t.co/fVe05BuHIK
