    And the queer hacker/chaos culture in particular, has inherited all of the original gender biases from its "upstream", with very little success at freeing itself from those.¹

    I've been in hacker spaces where I was the most feminine person in the room, which is sad. But as a nonbinary person, I've also been in queer hacker spaces where I felt like the most masculine person in the room, which is a painful demonstration of our own lack of diversity.

    ¹: incidentally, many trans people who got socialized in transphobic channer brainrot have not freed themselves from it, and it shows. Turns out one can be very queer and *intensely* queerphobic at the same time, but many people seem to not have gotten that memo yet.

    Oh, and I've completely forgotten, because I'm white as fuck: we're overwhelmingly white as fuck.
