It’s not inherently this way, I know it used to be women-dominated and not all areas of the world are biased towards men in CS. Still, it makes it hard to be proud of what I’m good at. Probably half of all the young adults female programmers are trannies. What’s worse, they’re almost all sneeds, almost all transbians. I still don’t know if I’m a transbian or a straggot, probably because im a self loathing bishit, but I wish I could just be a straggot. I could get over fitting the stereotype if I wasn’t a hideous male fakewoman, but that’s exactly what I am. I’d like to at least be fembrained if I can’t pass, but I don’t get to have that.

    I was talking at a party with some woman(?) who said that she had to leave her compsci degree because of the sexism (people assuming she was in the wrong room, ugh) and mentioned that she was “the only AFAB” in a lot of her classes :/

    I wanted to make a post about “let’s make compsci girly again” but I filled with cringe at the sneediness. This is not possible, I’ll have to come to terms with being malebrained

      I don’t buy into the gender gap truly being caused by malebrain or fembrain. Maybe only as a cope but still. I think it’s more about programming becoming clearly important to the public and self confident men coming in to take the jobs that they previously left only to women because they thought it was too tedious

          I am not well versed in the history so i don’t wanna argue too much. The vibe I have in my head is that women used to Be the computers, doing menial calculations, then programming naturally arose to automate those gradually and women kept those roles. Then programming became more and more advanced as a profession until it was deemed respectable enough by men
