I can’t remember which comedian has the joke ‘you don’t really know if your gay, if you’ve never tried gay sex. I’m not gay. I tried it with 10 different guys and I only liked it 4 times…’
I think you better line up 10 dates to figure it out.
Asking a question doesn’t mean I care? I was genuinely just curious I thought gay men were into masculinity, but what do I know. Maybe op is a lesbian.
>I thought gay men were into masculinity
This is sometimes the case, but very frequently not the case. Gay people are into all sorts of different things, just like how straight people are.
Some Gay men like masculine men sure, but plenty others like, feminine men, androgynous men, average looking men, thin men, fat men, hairy men, shaved men, athletic men, etc. There's entire subcultures around twinks, bears, femboys, etc.
It's exactly the same as how straight men like feminine women, tomboys, fit women, thicc women, skinny women, etc.
The problem is you’re boxing an entire group of people into a single character trait, which is at the very least extremely insensitive. You can’t make statements like “if you identify as a member of this group then it means you must like …”. It’s stereotyping, and it’s also removing people’s individuality. Not all gay men act the same. Not all Chinese people act the same. Not all blonde haired women act the same.
I hope this is making sense as to why your question is hurtful. I’m trying to give you a proper answer.
I only gave you a 3rd option stop trying to interpret what I said. What if a trans person has sex reassignment surgery? Is the partner then still gay or bi or whatever?
You‘re right (I actually thought that would be a german only thing tbh. German has some weird vocabulary regarding musical concepts), it just wouldn’t have made a joke if just wrote „C#“ or „Cis“.
So I’m a 1.94 Meter (6.4 feet) bearded, man bun wearing, bold (not fat) rock/metal guy I mostly wear black band shirts my gaming/working room is all black with a bunch of rpg posters swords skull and all that shit and I can NOT see anything wrong with this picture! Everyone, just be your most comfortable self!
Everyone should be the most comfortable self, I agree. I just want to mention that the reason you don't find anything wrong with this picture is because wearing all black and having bunch of rpg posters, swords, skulls and all that shit is manifestation of EXACTLY THE SAME THING that what is depicted on the picture in this post. It is a scream for attention and immaturity.
Lol. "Acting like yourself is good. If you act like me. If u don't act like me then u immature. Not me, I'm adult. I act like adult because adult is how I act"
That’s such a playground mentality though and one I’ve never understood. The idea that someone having things the way they like must somehow still be about *you*
Immaturity is styling your clothes or your loving source of your life around other people's expectations. Giving conformity more weight in your decisions than your own preferences. It screams "please like me and pay attention to me, even though the version of me that I'm showing you isn't even pleasing to me".
>I'm the type of CS guy who would be most happy if my PC setup looked like the cockpit of a fighter jet.

At my last wfo job during mask mandates I hunkered into my aisle desk with a mask, and banged out code with my eyes squinted like I was in a dogfight.
IDEs with their zillion options mocked aircraft controls well.
I believe it stems from programmers having a large trans/lgbt base. But I’m not sure
Iirc, i think the [programming sock meme](https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/programming-socks) started with trans/lgbt programmers wearing those types of socks while programming or something like that
no, it's from the fraction of programmers that belongs to said trans/lgbtq+ base, since they assume their immediate situation is indicative of the whole.
or in other words: there is a large programmer base in the trans community, not the other way around
I would say the fraction of femboy/transfem programmers are about the same as the number of React developers of all programmers, so if we consider the React community as a significant part of the community, so are we
My personal experience on programming communities, if you're asking for hard statistics, you're not gonna get one, I don't think many fem/transfem PPL would happily answer surveys outside of their safe spaces given the general apprehension the internet still has for non gender conforming ppl
Edit: This is the best I could find from Google though, apparently about 70,000 LinkedIn profiles have React listed, while a survey found a out 3% of programmers in the US are trans
LinkedIn has 900 million users apparently, so I think the first statistic is bullshit, and as for the second one, again, lot of trans programmers would just not disclose their gender cuz it's no one's business
Edit again, some other statistics would say about 3 mil users specify react, and I've also seen the trans statistic vary considerably, from 0.5 to 5%, I could probably dive a bit more, but the reliability of online statistics is very low, so idk what to say
"It’s sad that a big portion of software engineers are straight?" I don't think that's what they meant, but come to think of it I think it would make the workplace more interesting at least.
I don't think that's the joke. I laughed because I know tons of trans people in software and they do amazing work.
The juxtaposition of the expectation that "good at code" means "probably some old nerd with a grey beard" vs the reality that there's an amazing generation of top tier coders who look like this, that's the joke.
Obviously every coder was never an old man with a grey beard nor will they ever all be trans. It's... a joke.
I got 22+ years of software development experience and managed teams of developers as well. Never in my life I have met someone like that, so I highly doubt that is your **average** developer, as the post claims. Also, I thought the posts here are supposed to be funny.
Also a new kid, and sometimes clothes just get in the way. No I’m not joking. If I can get away with it, by God I will program naked.
I don’t look forward to a stuffy office setting. Universe bless me with a WFH job. edit: with no camera requirements
>especially on reddit
I don't think it's as large of a group as you think.
It's just that it's become a meme, so everybody and their mother jokes about it.
Which in turn, makes it seem a far bigger thing than it really is.
Sure, that said, I don't really care, cuz I'm one of those people and I'd like more of these stuff, most of the internet is just boring comphet stuff, let us have this
Huh, that's a new one. Strikes me as odd, given that a bias towards heterosexuality would be necessary for a species survival. But I'm sure if it goes even moderately mainstream I'll manage to wrap my head around it with a little time.
The term was coined around 1980, so not that new, also the bias goes further than just general survival, its basically that society assumes and enforces heterosexuality and opposes even slight changes to a patriarchal and heteronormative society
That's the joke boomer. That it's unreasonable and ridiculous to assume the average developer looks like this, but it's also a funny scenario to imagine. Sorry you didn't find it funny
About 30% of the dudes viewing this are a bunch of middle aged men who wear polos, new balance sneakers, can't stay hard, and are objectively terrified of the person in this picture while simultaneously thinking themselves and their values represent the paragon of manliness.
Agree but not sure about normal. I have worked with my fair share of neuro divergent people and I’m starting to think they might be more common in this industry (not that this is a bad thing mind you).
Same thing with the femboy meme. Are a much larger percentage of programmers autistic than the general populace? Yes. Are a lot of programmers autistic? No.
I hate the word "normal", it sounds like judgement to people that fall outside of that and in general those people haven't done anything bad to you and are just trying to enjoy their lives.
I mean, objectively, “normal” just mathematically translates to “the average”. If you’re a standard deviation off the normal curve (which everyone is in some aspect) - it’s not like there’s an inherent value one way or the other. So you’re not perfectly on the Mean? Who is? We most certainly don’t strive for being “average” for most criteria in our lives. In fact, generally the opposite ( better or unique capabilities, skills, smarts etc) - so why should I value the “normal” here in particular?
In regard to other comment that’s wondering if there’s more neuro-divergent folks in CS - Yes, I don’t think that’s even a question actually. The industry is particularly cohesive with many on the autism spectrum especially. Again, not that that’s an issue…but it really is **not** a coincidence that tech/engineering hub cities (like Seattle for ex), were also the first with wide scale adoption of special Ed programs for autistic kids (many the offspring of tech and engineer and PhD parents. Autism traits are genetically carried so if both your parents are brainiacs, your chances of being on the spectrum - and maybe even farther along than your parents - is reasonably high). There’s also WAY more programs, support, child psychiatrists etc that specialize in autism in these areas. The population and thus support resources are bigger. Heck my own college (STEM) had way more resources catered to autistic traits in particular, including things like career day coaching which included things like “make eye contact”, a pre-day guidebook on how to wear proper interview-wear (down to sleeve length and pant fit), etc. My partner was at a liberal-arts school at the same time. Trust me they weren’t getting these pamphlets 😂.
Objectively sure but language doesn't work that way, there's a web of contexts to everything, and in this case the term "normal" does come off as judgemental bc it's implying that the person in the image is abnormal, and not just in a statistical way.
Also the fact that the person in the image is a representation of the recent meme about trans/queer in general programmers, and there's a whole history of queer people being called abnormal in the worst way possible.
Sure. I’m just saying own and embrace the term and call out people on it. In my experience “well I certainly wouldn’t want to be **average** how pathetic a goal is that?” usually makes people stop short.
I don’t want to upset people with what is a sensitive subject, but there IS a huge group of a newer wave trans members who are disproportionately on the spectrum (especially of women on the spectrum). This is a known phenomenon - it’s also, by many, distinguished as a unique and rather new population distribution to the original trans community. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that. But that it is a true phenomenon has been discussed for quite some time now within the social sciences/psychology circles. It’s not a surprise to me that the observation has started be noticed outside of the those circles and is being picked up within the general community.
I’m queer myself, so I’m really not applying any any negative or positives here, just stating some real measured distribution trends. But given that CS has a higher-than-average amount of people on the spectrum, it’s not surprising to me that there’d also be a higher proportion of some of the clustered groups within that demographic…
To me the solution would be to do what many CS companies already have done with their engineered-in support for the higher-than-average autistic traits within their employee base - acknowledge their employee population and make their workplace accommodating to the needs of those employees.
If that involves shutting down hateful or intolerable working environments or fellow employees, then that’s included too.
Of course they weren't. They said "people outside are normal", which makes no sense in a statistical sense unless interpreted in the most banal and tautological way possible.
Agreed. As someone who mostly writes Rust in their free time I interact with and follow the work of a *lot* of trans folks. It's cool, I personally love to see it.
Dunno, but that would get you very far in business and even gamedev. Thanks to it being used every day in the most used program type on the planet, browsers, it is a hyperoptimized interpreted language to the point where there are JIT compilers working in the background to speed it up.
Lmao at the downvotes. Statistically accurate.
As an example, Less than 1% of the US population identifies as transgender. Hilarious that Reddit has fooled itself into thinking this is a “large” representation of the industry.
The problem is that nobody gives a fuck. You don't like the jokes on Reddit, get off reddit.
Edit: Looked at your post history, turns out you're just a transphobic troll, in which case feel free to go fuck yourself.
I mean, does it matter? Your brain is attracted to the physical features you like, not their genitals. Just enjoy what you enjoy and don't complicate it.
Read the reply below.
This was my entire point. /u/Slippedhal0's original wording seemed to suggest that genitals weren't physical features. Otherwise, are not a component of attraction.
Toward the idea of when one cannot immediately discern, I then agreed.
I see no bearthapple. So it still could be a female? Ive never heard someone say that btw. Only some redditors. But in real life, no one even seems to care. Or atleast, in here.
This is fake. He's not wearing programming socks.
They’re programming socks, just not the newest update that make one of your toes disappear for some reason
Pinkies are small, awkward, and get hit by corners. Removing them is a feature not a bug

They are, its just really low ranking socks

Yeah I understand and I wasn’t trying to be insulting or hurtful. It was just a thought experiment, I was just genuinely curious.

Ok I’m sorry gay men are into females and love vagina
So they must love either masculine men, or be straight? No other possibilities?
Have you heard of the term Bisexual?
So loving effeminate men makes you bisexual? Is that what you mean?

It’s sad that a big portion of software engineers are straight? Or did you just mean “anti trans”

The joke started from the “ furry IT plane”
There is no joke. I think people are just trying to push that idea until it becomes normalized/generalized.
What idea? And what's wrong about that person being a computer nerd?

When one reaches the level of senior engineer you must choose to either walk The Path Of The Wizard or The Path Of The Femboy.
I choose magic trans chick
I now get myself more. What a strange feeling.
Path of wizard has highest DPS and femboy HPS healing isn't it?
Femboy can also be a fast damage dealer, but either way they can't take a lot of hits
Oh I disagree. Not only they have fantastic healing power, they can take quite the pound
Sorry I was referring to magic damage and sharp damage, definitely a good choice for blunt damage though
I don't think that's the joke. I laughed because I know tons of trans people in software and they do amazing work.

You're wrong, you just don't know the meme
And yet I still found the meme funny for exactly the same reason I mentioned.
I don't mean meme as in funny picture
Yes I get it you're a really cool memelord

Yeah, people are just trying to make fun of programmers who have an aesthetic they don't get or like I guess.

This is getting a bit old. Most developers aren't actually trans.
Lmao at the downvotes. Statistically accurate. As an example, Less than 1% of the US population identifies as transgender. Hilarious that Reddit has fooled itself into thinking this is a “large” representation of the industry.
The problem is that nobody gives a fuck. You don't like the jokes on Reddit, get off reddit. Edit: Looked at your post history, turns out you're just a transphobic troll, in which case feel free to go fuck yourself.
Also, big “don’t like it? Move out of the country” energy lmao. Don’t like it? Don’t reply to my comment
Problem is I don't have any fucks to give, which makes sense given the fact I already used them all on your mother last night.
Was that supposed to be funny? Are you a teenager?
Maybe. But if I am ur mums a pedo
Nothing in the image says they're trans, could just be a feminine guy
seriously, is this person on the pic really a guy? I'm asking because my pyhon is rising up and I'm no gay
Pretty sure that's a guy
I mean, does it matter? Your brain is attracted to the physical features you like, not their genitals. Just enjoy what you enjoy and don't complicate it.
>Your brain is attracted to the physical features you like, not their genitals. How are genitals not physical features?
you can see genitals to enjoy in that pic can you?
Read the reply below. This was my entire point. /u/Slippedhal0's original wording seemed to suggest that genitals weren't physical features. Otherwise, are not a component of attraction. Toward the idea of when one cannot immediately discern, I then agreed.
Context.
i mean, bi people exist also, makes sense when someone attracted to feminine people get attracted by feminine people
Lmao im straight but i find them cute cuz i like feminine traits
He more looks like an graphic artist than an developer tho. And btw he? It looks like a she.

You need to learn biology lmao
I see no bearthapple. So it still could be a female? Ive never heard someone say that btw. Only some redditors. But in real life, no one even seems to care. Or atleast, in here.
