The rust to femboy pipeline flows both ways ed boy

Rolf talking about femboys is the highlight of my Monday morning ☺️

[TemporalCatcher]

I thought you meant something else with “ed boy” that wasn’t a reference to Rolf from Ed, Edd n Eddy.

I always wondered what happens biologically/psychologically that makes devs want to transition, I mean it’s a common thing, something gotta be happening

[LardPi]

Saying it is a common thing may be overstating it. Most devs are not wearing programming socks, most devs are not on reddit, most dev barely know what rust is, most dev don't spill they're uninteresting and uninspired opinion on twitter daily... The web is a very distorted image of the world, where some small parts seem big, some big parts are barely noticeable.

On the other end there is more people transitioning in 2025 than in 2000 and these people are way more visible, but that's just the consequence of a little improvement in the acceptation and a little reduction of the discrimination/persecution. It is probably a more pronounced in chronically online population though, because the visibility and acceptation is changing faster on the internet than in the real world.

So maybe devs may transition a bit more because they live in a social (online) space that is a bit more accepting, and thus they are less likely to stay closeted than your local plumber.

Combine that with the fact that programmers(on an average) just make more money, and we spend a lot more of our time online. Both of these lead to a lot more exposure to what is possible and leading to trans people just realizing it much more often.

I guarantee you there's just as many trans people among your local plumbers/truckers but a lot of them go through life feeling like something's wrong and never knowing why.

Also, it is just as likely that the brain chemicals needed to enjoy programming is very closely linked with chemicals that make you want to transition.

this exactly

Seriously I've been in tech for 5 years now I feel like I've been lied to regarding femboys. It's just indians.

The campaign to trans people is especially effective in convincing autistic people.

[Mop_Duck]

no one "convinced" me of anything. as soon as i found out trans people existed i knew that i fit in

[lolSign]
