    From anecdotal experience trans women are more prevalent in these spaces because many of us have a tech background or know someone who does and is active in these places.

    Trans men I know haven’t had that kind of connection and are usually less techy and therefore are not in spaces like these.

    That said I agree with you that the meme would be cooler if it accounted for all trans ppl alike.

      There’s another reason, tech often allows you to work remotely and without interaction with people which y’know, may or may not be transphobic.

      Plus, science fields, arts, etc. tend to be much more welcoming to queer peeps. Awareness helps!
