https://archived.moe/g/thread/93632944/linux-graphics-stack-is-trans (EDIT: removed/jannied, archive: https://archived.moe/g/thread/93632944/)
HN users are noticing something:
« I’m on the board overseeing Linux graphics. Half of us are trans »
From a purely statistical POV, this is absurdly bizarre.
Not really.
Statistically there will be weird coincidences completely naturally. It's also quite arbitrary which we see as meaningful. If say, Linux networking has unusually many people called "John" that probably will be unnoticed because nobody pays that much attention to common, unremarkable names. If they all randomly turn out to have green eyes, then that's more visible. It's completely subjective which of those is more remarkable.
There are also likely social effects -- people stick together, and some side interests align with some fields. Eg, I think it's reasonable to guess there's going to be more furries than average in VR development. Part because VR allow you to look like whatever you want a lot of the time, part because people will invite their friends in.
It is not just a random coincidence. It's a phenomenon more broadly across programming, especially very low-level/hardware stuff.
There does seem to be a correlation between autism spectrum and gender confusion, with the former often present in individuals who are into highly technical pursuits.
The logic seems to be not conforming to masculine stereotypes ==> must be a woman.
It's not "gender confusion". They know very well who they are. You are confused about the topic.

You know no one would actually care or even ask questions if someone's transgender or not if they didn't keep rubbing it in people's faces. People don't like girl peepee in their faces or manc*nts.

uuhh hate to break it to you Drew but this dude isn't changing that pattern, both founders of Panfrost were born white males
I never understood this argument, what 'perspective' can they offer GPU driver development? That republicans need to be put into FEMA camps?
'Diversity of thought' via putting various identities in a room very rarely ever has any real value. Unless they are designing a consumer product that wants to target niches, but very few people are actually doing that sort of job. And even if they did there's no reason a good designer can't learn/see things from other's perspectives. They do it all the time, they are nerds designing for non-technical commoners.
