It's fine, I'm pretty sure I know the guy. I think he's an engineering manager. Managers like him are why so few are willing to speak up. People get defensive real quick. See the video posted below.

He knows my facebook account so I don't see how he thinks I'm trying to stay anonymous. Though I'm flattered he read thousands of my tweets to find the four or five about Redfin.

I am not an engineering manager -- and for what it's worth, not a manager at all, just a regular old line employee (or was until a few months ago). As I said, I'm just an ex-Redfinnian who is a minority and experienced an environment that is very different from what you describe, which made me very curious to understand the gap between our experiences -- and if I'm being completely honest, eager to defend a company which has been generally wonderful to me with regards to fostering an inclusive and safe work environment, and unequivocally not one that "retaliates" in the manner you describe.

Okay, so you worked there after me. When I started, devs still checked sex jokes into the code base. Just one of the many things I tried to fix. You are welcome, I guess?

You're right that it isn't the best word choice -- I meant to say that it's not my place or anyone else's to comment on the lived experience of an individual at or with an institution. What I take issue with is generalizing a subjective experience to color and characterize an entire institution.
