On Twitter, @techiecheckie suggested that we expand our EOE document to feel less vague and more applicable/useful to trans and disabled people. In his words,
The EOE section is too short and vague to be useful to: a) disabled ppl, b) trans ppl. Reading it, it flat out sounds like a form letter I can download off a cheap lawyering site. Many companies write these same words and never follow through. Ppl who need them therefore don't use them out of fear. If you want to really make it clear that this is IMPORTANT to you, it needs to detail much, much more than it does. Substantial, well-thought out work in this section will attract a lot more diversity than lip service.
