When I was in college it wasn't a meme/trend so it is new in the past decade or so which I find fascinating. My best guess is programming communities are mostly men so trans women and folks questioning (eggs, etc) might just seem more common? idk.
The thing is there are lots that are trans females so that reasoning doesn't make sense.
Sorry, I should've said AMAB, not men. As in some people realize they're trans but maybe comp sci attracts AMAB people for some reason. Honestly I'm just grasping at straws and have no idea tbh.
It certainly is an interesting phenomena
