MODERATORS
have you been to an open source convention?
Yes, multiple. I'm also in multiple FOSS user and developer groups.
But there is no need to believe me. You can ask Github. https://opensourcesurvey.org/2017/
The proportion of the general population is 0.5 to 0.7%. So yes, it is very slightly higher, but not in the way that all the memes have been trying to portray it lately.
I would say programmer circles tend to be progressive as well, so some over-representation makes sense. I mean, where do we expect trans women to want to work?
It's probably more of where one can be expected to be open about not being 'normative'
It seems to have become fashionable to over-hype it among younger more casual Linux users. Hence things like "Linux/Unix socks".
It's quite heavily pushed in Discord servers where you'll be asked to choose whether you're a "catboy" or "femboy".
It's quite irritating. Some of those 'femboys' can be quite homophobic funnily enough which is infuriating.
9% of women in open source is a massive over representaion
