This is so interesting I will definitely be listening. I wonder how stereotypes conflating trans women with technology relate to historic ignorance of women in computer science

it also like… ends up being repeated in ways that clearly imply that 1. trans women r not ‘real women’ and 2. that women are not good at math/computers like it’s just. kinda evil for a lot of reasons

I thought it came from the same vein as trans ppl often being SWs, as it was a more stable job that made enough money to get the care needed. Yknow, Lynn Conway, Angelica Ross, Wendy Carlos.

Side note, I majored in Cybersecurity and I had a class called “Human aspects of Cybersecurity” and in the textbook there was a whole passage that was just stereotypes of Autistic people

My impression was always that tgirls are often relegated to specific jobs, because of visibility & respectability eg. Sw, tech, dealers & djs? So like not posi either way forsure
