Ronnie de Souza Santos, Brody Stuart-Verner, Cleyton Magalhaes

摘要:

多样性是软件开发的一个重要方面,因为技术影响着现代社会的几乎每一个方面,如果软件行业缺乏多样性,软件产品可能会无意中限制个人群体,而不是促进所有人的平等体验。在这项研究中,我们调查的观点,跨性别的软件专业人士的职业生涯中的软件工程的多样性在软件行业的一个方面。我们的研究结果表明,一方面,跨性别者选择从事软件工程的职业主要有两个原因:a)尽管软件开发环境不能免于歧视,但软件行业对跨性别者来说比其他行业更安全; b)跨性别者偶尔不得不应对性别焦虑、焦虑和对判断的恐惧,软件公司提供的工作灵活性使他们能够更有效地处理这些问题。

英文摘要:

Diversity is an essential aspect of software development because technology influences almost every aspect of modern society, and if the software industry lacks diversity, software products might unintentionally constrain groups of individuals instead of promoting an equalitarian experience to all. In this study, we investigate the perspectives of transgender software professionals about a career in software engineering as one of the aspects of diversity in the software industry. Our findings demonstrate that, on the one hand, trans people choose careers in software engineering for two primary reasons: a) even though software development environments are not exempt from discrimination, the software industry is safer than other industries for transgenders; b) trans people occasionally have to deal with gender dysphoria, anxiety, and fear of judgment, and the work flexibility offered by software companies allow them to cope with these issues more efficiently.
