RIP: Rest In Peace, Power and Pleasure Lynn Conway (1938 - 2024)

[AMS351996]

��️

Sorry for my belated rip(pp). Wasn't sure if it was appropriate, upon finding out to note it and wasn't sure if this forum was the right forum to note it.

Missed April Ashley too, rip(pp) beautiful.

Two trans-gender/trans-sexual icons/idols or idols/icons.

I never hear of her before, so I looked her up
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Conway

"Lynn Ann Conway (January 2, 1938 – June 9, 2024) was an American computer scientist, electrical engineer, and transgender activist.

Conway worked at IBM in the 1960s and invented generalized dynamic instruction handling, a key advance used in out-of-order execution, used by most modern computer processors to improve performance. IBM fired Conway in 1968 after she revealed her intention to undergo a gender transition.

After completing her transition she took a new name and identity and restarted her career. She joined Xerox PARC in 1973, where she led the "LSI Systems" group. She initiated the Mead–Conway VLSI chip design revolution in very large-scale integrated (VLSI) microchip design. That revolution spread rapidly through the research universities and computing industries during the 1980s, incubating an emerging electronic design automation industry, spawning the modern 'foundry' infrastructure for chip design and production, and triggering a rush of impactful high-tech startups in the 1980s and 1990s.

She began quietly coming out in 1999 and began working in transgender activism. In 2020, IBM apologized for firing her 52 years earlier."

Thank you for her wikipedia -based/-related article -based/-related segment quote...

She is an icon/idol or idol/icon, she discussed at length, mtf trans -based/-related vaginoplasty(ies).
