Audrey Tang

Audrey Tang, born on April eighteenth, nineteen eighty-one, is a prominent Taiwanese politician and computer scientist. She made history by serving as the first Minister of Digital Affairs in Taiwan from August twenty twenty-two to May twenty twenty-four. Recognized as one of the 'ten greatest Taiwanese computing personalities,' Tang has significantly influenced the digital landscape in her country.

In August two thousand sixteen, Tang was appointed as a minister without portfolio in Taiwan's Executive Yuan, marking a groundbreaking moment as she became the first transgender and non-binary official in the top executive cabinet. Her identity as 'post-gender' reflects her progressive views on gender and inclusivity, as she embraces any pronoun that individuals choose to use when referring to her.

Beyond her political achievements, Tang is a respected figure in the programming community, particularly known for her leadership in the Haskell and Perl programming languages. She is also a core member of the g0v initiative, which promotes transparency and civic engagement through technology.
