How come half the time I see a female engineer’s name it turns out to be a transgender person? Transgender people are less than 1% of the population... is it much higher in Silicon Valley?
- WWLink 7y agoAnecdotally speaking, I have met at least a hundred women who happened to be engineers, and none of them were trans. Then again, I don't work in Silicon Valley, lol.
- paggle 7y agoYes the same for me with people I’ve worked with. But when I see someone from a news article or similar seems like they are very commonly trans.
- pas 7y agoNews bias. News is drawn to controversy. Alas a lot of trans people have to live with that, because they are naturally edge cases for a lot of things.
