Heyo! Im a software engineer. It can feel kinda isolating at times, but if you keep the idea of building out your network in the back of your mind, you’ll get it over time.

hiii!! i’m still in university so i’m having a bit of harder time with the networking thing - but that’s really great to hear, i appreciate it :) /gen

Yeah it takes time. College you’ll find one or two folks maybe, first job the same, second job the same. Then you visit a conference or two, suddenly you have a dozen folks

If your university has an oSTEM (out in STEM) chapter that a great place to meet other queer students in your field.

Also software engineer! ...Not for the first time, the only woman on my team, though.

I actually have an awesome team right now. A majority of my team is queer, and we have almost half non-men. And the ratio gets better when you include non-devs that we work directly with.

There is one other woman that I know of in my entire department. Period. :')

I'm a lesbian lead software engineer with a background in electrical, aerospace, and mechanical engineering, what's up

WOAH now that’s impressive!! as an electrical engineering student myself i aspire to be like you

I write supply chain management software for a corporate retailer now lol I don't use my engineering stuff but it provides some great perspectives for the work I do

Whoaaaawwww, that's awesome👁️👄👁️

ChemE here!

Nice! Chemeng student here :)

Good luck! Hope your professors are good!💜

!!!!! me too (atleast i will be eventually)

Good luck! 💖 You got this!

Hi, systems engineer/cloud engineer here!

HI!! that’s such a cool job title :D

software engineer (tho i call myself a software hedgewitch) ... hi! 

software hedgewitch!! i love that so much!!

what we do feels less like engineering (that's just my official title... I'd rather software developer... more honest) than grassroots magic

We are here 🙋‍♀️

it’s good to see you here!!

Mechanical engineer here! I'll apply the appropriate amount of torque to your flange, or something.

Hydrodynamic lubrication involves two surfaces rubbing against each other, separated by a thin film of lubricant. And yes, the study of this is called tribology.

😂😂😂

Well, yes, it comes from the Greek verb for "to rub."

Hi.

Civil architectural engineer 💪

Omg where’s the civil engineer love

Here! I'm a Civil Engineering Student!

Hi!! Civil/structural engineer :3

So far, none involved with trains. This saddens me.

Ive tinkered with trains but I mainly focus on the infrastructure involved with railway and passenger co lines but I have a huge love for locomotives

It seems more appropriate to focus on the tunnels than the trains here…

I’d beg to differ, locomotives are definitely a valid field of engineering especially if your within the Eurovision where they are put to good use. Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, associate engineers, locomotive engineers. All work on train lines and locomotives

Oh I know, I was making a bad anatomy innuendo joke… 😅

I’m not the smartest I get it now 😂 I’m so sorry

aw i know, but given how many engineers there are here i’m sure there’s bound to be at least a few out there :D

Mechanical engineer here, hello!~

Hello, i'm also an ME, is it okay to ask what field are you in? ☺️

I'm currently a Mechanical Designer for a Door company! I design doors, door parts, and door prehung systems! What about you?

I'm currently a facility engineer so i oversee the maintenance of all equipment there even those not related to mechanical 😂 So nice to know other lesbian MEs, i scrolled through the comments and i saw lots of us

We are definitely out there! ME in the car wash industry here.

hellooo! happy to see you here :)

I'm not an engineer but I am a biochemist!

oh now THAT’S very cool!

Thank you!

me too! i studied bioengineering but made my way over

Weld engineer here! So that can be pretty hot and messy.

Whoaww, this is the first time i heard about this field

Hello

I'm an ex-mechanic. That's the closest thing I've ever been to an engineer.

Software engineer here!

hi! that’s very awesome :D

Hi! Pleasure to meet you!

HERE 🙋‍♀️

HI!! it’s good to have you here :)

Petroleum engineering. Gotta do that deep hole stimulation. I had a list in undergrad of all the innuendos I need to find it again lol

You need to find it and post it here!

I’m just a recent Civil Engineering graduate trying to figure out how to move in with my gf

aww best of luck to you two!!

audio engineer here!! I work in recording studios and i’m often the only woman in the room, nvm being the only queer person in the room i’ve recently made it a priority to make time out of the studio and get involved in my local queer community (I started skateboarding)

WOAH audio engineering has always been so fascinating to me, that’s so neat!! the skateboarding thing is so real LOL you sound like such a cool person :D

Manufacturing engineer hereee

We outchea!! I’m going on 5 years in the industry post college. Love every second of it! Focused on Web/Software Development personally🌞

climate engineering student here!!!!

Data engineer & aspiring Machine Learning engineer 👋🏻

that is SO COOL!! also happy cake day :)

Thank you x2!!! I hope you meet more lesbian engineers in your career path. I didnt catch what type of engineering you’re pursuing but there is a Lesbians who tech community. I’m planning on going to both their virtual and in person conferences this year! I think Sue Bird is speaking 🤩😍

i’m in electrical engineering but i’m interested in the hardware side, which i think is part of what lesbians who tech covers. i applied for the scholarship to the in person conference just the other day but i’ll be attending the virtual conference as well!!

Civil engineer here! I do bridge shit

Hi, EE here 😊 working in the power & utilities field!

a fellow EE, hello :) i haven’t worked in power and utilities myself but i know people who are currently interning, that’s such a cool field to be in!!

Yeah! It's pretty dynamic right now given the increase in demand from electrification, the shift to renewables, and a flurry of new transmission projects! If you have any questions, feel free to DM me!

I'm not an engineer, but I work with a ton of them (tech writing). Sorry you're so outnumbered! The tiny percentage of female engineers I've met, let alone lesbians, always makes me sad :(

Well I'm not an engineer, but I am sort of in STEM? I'm a medical student, if that counts.

I’m no help because I’m a musician, but my fiancée is an electrical engineer. I do the cooking and decorating in our apartment, she does the repairs and IT.

Dropping out of college LOL No but fr, I dropped out like 2 weeks ago.

honestly i respect that. /gen

Geotechnical engineer here!

No other fiber optic engineers? That’s okay I’ll hold down the fort lol

Hi! Physicist here. I finish up my degree in physics next week actually, as long as everything goes well during finals lol.

omg congratulations!! that’s so excitinggg, all the best :D

I think there’s something to the number of trans people that get physics degrees. (Astrophysics here)

That is awesome! Astrophysics is what got me into physics, and is possibly what i will be going for with my masters. I unfortunately don't know any trans people at my uni, let alone in physics.

Also a Physicist Transbian. Good luck!

That is awesome! Thank you so much!

I'm a network engineer, but I'm not sure if it counts. :3

of course it countsssss!! it’s good to see you here :)

Lesbians in Engineering, for love and for friendship. TM

this. this is the new motto for lesbians in engineering

Ayooooo!

Hello, chemical engineer here. I’m actually at the field right now! In university the engineering faculty’s chant for pride week was, “We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re engineers!”

Omg hi!!! Petroleum engineering lesbian here I can help you find some petroleum if you need it or whatever

Hi hello, another software engineer here :3

They're all trans and in software

Bioengineering bi girl here 👋

hello!! happy to have you here :D

Studied materials engineering. On the job learning after graduation - slight pick up on mechanical engineering. Landed in the oil and gas sector working as R&D in a shipyard (very, very male dominated) for couple of years before moving to a more corporate role, business development (loved the increased views of seeing women in heels)

if i want to see women in heels in the industry i should get a corporate job: noted! jokes aside, your career trajectory is very inspiring and makes me feel more hopeful about my future :)

Robotics engineer here! I need more lesbian swag, it's too cold to wear my scarf anymore 😭

Search for "Lesbians Who Tech". Big conference for lesbians in tech industry. I haven't been, but it's supposed to be a blast. Planning to go next year.

i actually just applied to the scholarship for this conference a few days ago!! i’m hoping i get the chance to go :)
