Yes but that is a social trait that we would expect to include trans males. It appears that all categories (cis, trans etc.) are disproportionately dominated by AMAB than AFAB people. This makes it seem like the issue is tied to biological sexual traits not influenced by medicine/surgery (such as chromosomes), rather than gender.
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.
Like the shitty social isolation and inadequacy of proper bonding of amab people, leading them significantly more towards isolating in technology for their socialization.
I don’t have statistics on that, but I’d be willing to bet on it.
Why would that apply to an anonymous survey tho. The reason that’s a thing is because cis women in particular face a lot of harassment on the Internet, but if it’s anonymous then they don’t have to worry about that.
There’s probably a LOT of selection bias in there.
What? Is willingness to answer polls inherited via the Y chromosome?
Willing to share your gender/sex with the internet is probably socially tied to being male.

Or social traits related to upbringing.

What do you mean? were cis men more likely to answer the survey than cis women on this perform?
(I did not answer the survsy, but that’s anecdotal)
In general, id say men are a lot more willing to tell the internet their gender and/or sex than women are.
Why would that apply to an anonymous survey tho. The reason that’s a thing is because cis women in particular face a lot of harassment on the Internet, but if it’s anonymous then they don’t have to worry about that.
On an anonymous survey though?
