Train has an interesting theory on why there are so many trans-women in tech. 
Gay people are rich apparently
100%. A lot of older gay people went for well paying jobs and careers as a way to cope with the shame that came with being gay. They strived for success so they could feel like it made up for all the hate they got for being gay.
This is also why you see a lot of extremely muscular and attractive gay people. The shame pushes them to be better than others in some social field people really care about.
This isn't a gay exclusive thing, this is just a shame thing and how some people cope with it.
Yep. Trans community has a semi similar thing.
Because a lot of trans gals are self conscious they spend more time around electronics and other media. So the “trans girl coder” meme is kinda an actual thing. I also kinda fall into this as I have 2 degrees in game design/art, >>> yeah I wasn't a smart kid choosing that… (why do we trust teenagers with that much debt?)
NOTE: this doesn't apply to everyone and there are other things that end up as the focus if they have one, look at the gals who made the matrix for example.
Are you sure that is the reason my friend? 
The rest of the thread is just disadvantaged groups sucking themselves off, but one comment stands above the rest. I have sectioned it off from the rest of this post since it is not tech related, and I always respect the rules of online forums.
Edit: Added the missing link.

AUTISM + COOM BRAIN + ZERO SOCIAL SKILLS/SHUT IN = TRANS PROGRAMMER
The same neurodivergence that makes them very good at programming is also what makes them
freaks

Do we have evidence of this?
There's so many bad programmers out there and I've yet to see a train programmer in the real world.

Yes. @Bookers have worked with some in the wild and the ones @Bookers encountered were good.
The last company @Bookers was at, one of the lead developers, probably top 10 in company
ed out after they had been there for like a decade.
So they were already good before they were a
but I think the neurotic autism that made them a good programmer in the first place also led them to eventually becoming 
.
Also, @Bookers would argue that even though they are unhinged, the resident
programmer here is also decent.
The problem with trains programmers isn't that they're bad programmers.
It's that they're neurodivergent unhinged socially awkward coomer brain shut ins.
Also, everypony knows white males are the best programmers
and when you get right down too it, trains are overwhelmingly white (nu)males.
Of course all of this is just anecdotal evidence from @Bookers's lived experience.
But @Bookers think it probably holds true for the most part.
ISRAELI LIVES MATTER
because israelis create all the trains programmers
