There are those who transition, so a significant chunk of that male programmer population is "male" as in quotation marks, only that some transition earlier than others. Does not guarantee that you can get the transgender autistic puppygirl (or other variations) of your dreams, since many of them are lesbians.

But also feel free to look outside your field for a partner. It's okay to date an artist as a programmer.

I think programmer should be seen as a gender itself.

I'm currently transitioning myself, already have a homeserver and a Linux PC, can't wait to be a real programmer.

I detransitioned from being a programmer and all I have is depression since, maybe I should retransission into being a programmer

Just slurs, shouted angrily and incoherently whike they blame you for all the shit that was designed (by someone else) to not work.

Feels weird reading this as the only single woman programmer in my friend group who likes men
