Inspired by hashtags that celebrate the diversity of the tech community such as #ILookLikeAnEngineer, Trans*H4CK launched #ibuild4 --a hashtag campaign that pushes conversations forward by showing the direct impact technology makes in the lives of transgender, genderqueer, agender & non binary people, who are often excluded as tech creators and innovators.
FOR TRANS & NON BINARY FOLKS: Are you using technology to make a difference? Share your stories using the #iBUILD4 hashtag on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Tumblr, and Trans*H4CK will feature you on their website. Share your words, selfies/photos or videos and Trans*H4CK will promote your work!
