I highly doubt this specifically is tied to chromosomes and other biological traits. It’s likely got to do with the fact that many (but not all) transfemmes on here went through AMAB socialization for their childhood and teen years.
My current theory is that “boys” are more heavily pushed to go into CS than “girls” starting at a very young age. Teachers do have implicit biases in how they treat their students based on their gender. Usually it is assumed that “girls” are good at reading and “boys” are good at math. I suspect there’s also heavily a race aspect to it as well.
There’s also the fact that society expects certain traits from men and women. I can say that from my experience having a logical, blunt personality and way of thinking growing up was heavily discouraged and reprimanded. I learned to fake displaying emotions in social situations so that people would quit punishing me for it. After my transition, people don’t view the exact same traits as rude and cold like they used to.
Lemmy has a very high percentage of people who are programmers and people in the CS field. There is also a lot of sexism in the CS field from what I’ve heard and I imagine that keeps cis women and non-passing trans men especially away from it.
Why would anyone be biologically wired to use Lemmy.
