1. On Becoming a Woman Astronomer
From: Jessica Mink via womeninastronomy.blogspot.com
A year ago, three years after I transitioned from male to female, I wrote a guest entry for this blog entitled "On Being a Transgender Astronomer", giving a sort of Gender 101, with a few stories of my own experience. At that time, I envisioned a second blog with the same title as this one, thinking that it would be written a lot sooner than this. It turns out that despite having had woman astronomers around me since I was an undergraduate and therefore thinking that I knew what I was doing, it is taking me more than a few years to become a woman astronomer.

2. Accessible Astronomy
From: Jesse Shanahan via womeninastronomy.blogspot.com
The more time I spend in astronomy, the more I realize that the ability to just do science is an incredible privilege. Generally speaking, I?ve never experienced this fully due to being a female-presenting astronomer. However, even setting aside gender discrimination and harassment, I?ve never experienced the privilege of being able to access my workplace, data, or classroom like my coworkers, advisors, and students can.
Why?
Well, I have a disability.
