just wanted to make sure that you understood that I wasn't trying disregard your experiences. Just to point out that they are likely different in ways you might not have previously considered.
That said I do disagree that it's not others responsibility to attract more people like her to a job. I think it is a teams responsibility as a whole to create a diverse environment. Of course the author can do more to attract people she would feel comfortable working with but in my opinion it shouldn't begin and end with her.
Along those same lines I'd like to point out that just getting more diversity is only one solution and not even the one the author agitates for. Making the workplace more accepting of diversity where individuals differences don't feel the need to change to fit in is what she desires. She just wants a more open and welcoming environment. Not one that necessarily reflects her personal gender/racial makeup
