Why there are many transfem/femboys associated with computer stuff? I'm genuinely curious.

Neuroconvergance since it keeps occuring.

Not so divergent now, are ya???

Many get into computers when they are younger and before they realize they are girls, they continue doing it after they come out because they like it and/or it pays well.

Someone should do a study into this, I'm genuinely curious why there's such a huge association (me included :3)

Both? I agree!

my theory is that trans people are drawn to the internet and therefore, by chance, technology, because it's easier to freely choose how to present and find a safe space

Because it's awesome and cool, is there really a better reason? That's the reason I'm into computer stuff, and also why I'm a femboy.

Sorry, I didn't get it.

My (maybe controversial) theory is that software engineering is a deeply creative and self-expressive field, more closely related to art and literature than to the "hard" sciences. But it has the clear upside that it isn't stigmatized like Art & Literature, so getting into it isn't met with the same amount of scrutiny & criticism, especially for people who present in a masculine way.

computer people don't do sports --> muscle atrophy --> slim --> already looks more like a girl --> easy to transition
