Stefanie Wuschitz (Miss Baltazar's Laboratory) at Transmediale 2011 about her experience in international hacker spaces.

"Hackerspace members think of themselves as being extremely open-minded and welcoming, but they're just not. It's a very elite group [whose members] distinguish themselves very strongly from others with certain codes. [They do so unwillingly], but the problem is that they don't acknowledge that [fact]."

My Last.fm Gender Plot: I listen to more stereotypically female than male music, I'm older than most people listening to what I listen to, Dälek is the most macho artist I like and PatrickMirah, Kimya and The Blow are hanging out in a queer little group of their own all the way down at the femme edge of the graph (presumably eyeing Jónsi [edit: and even Dear Nora!] suspiciously over there in gender-balanced territory).

Das Diktum des sozialen Geschlechtes, des Rollenzwangs und der festgelegten Verhaltensmuster gilt ebenso für Männer. Weil diese davon aber materiell und sozial immer profitiert haben, wurde erst in jüngerer Zeit zum Thema, dass Geschlechterrollen auch für Männer ein Korsett sind, das ihnen mehr schadet als nützt. ... Frauen haben durch den Feminismus ihre Möglichkeiten erweitert, Männern steht dieser Schritt noch bevor.

Google TechTalk by Dr. Cornelia Brunner (59:00)

Butch vs. femme ways of thinking about tech, and what the difference means for IT education: "[Currently we're focused on] finding the girls who are interested to think in butch ways [...] and making them feel comfortable in [the butch IT] world. The missing piece is inducting femme thinkers into this universe."

Female or male, gay or straight – XXY is a delicate film all about uncertainties and grey areas.
Atmosphere and emotion drive this movie. Similarly to Glue (in which XXY lead Inés Efrón played a supporting role) there's not a whole lot of dialogue – but given the complexity of the topic at hand here, that fact can be quite aggravating: I found myself thinking "God, people, would it kill you to communicate a little more!?" several times. The story strays and wanders a bit and not all of the characters are allowed real depth, but the beautiful cinematography with its cool blue, sweeping beach vistas and Efrón's amazing job in the lead role as fifteen-year-old Alex still make this more than worthwhile.
