Brilliant article, Ben. One bit of irony for me: "Trust your peers." As a transgender person, my teammates are aware that I trust them with my life and safety--when we go out and about, they watch my back, and help keep me safe from people who would do me harm. ...yet when they tell me, "Good job!" I do not believe them.
Carlos, thanks for your comment. You can get in touch with the PANOPTES team at http://www.projectpanoptes.org/. I'm sure they'll be excited to hear from you!
