I always feel excluded

In every environment, hackerspace, job, I always feel excluded. Even in a bar, if they have a technical conversation, they don't listen to me. It's like I'm not there.

In jobs, they want to hire a woman, but the things I was proposing, they were saying --yea yea-- but they didn't do anything with them. There was no onboarding, so it was hard to get into the workflows. Zero communication, zero documentation to help me develop.

I also had a stalker in a physical political space - we were talking about technology... I told him I am going to another continent and when I arrived there, I didn't feel welcome. Later I found out, that the stalker had gone there, and told some stories about me...

I feel they don't understand what they are doing wrong. I'm always trying to appear more masculine.
