The company I keep tends to be quite private, but there's no shortage of "it" pronouned puppygirls doing significant work in Linux spaces; god bless them. Nix has a lot for some reason... Also cybersec communities.

What a timeline...
I made aliases because I'm lazy.

Funny that the pride flag is on the left when the most impressive Linux devs I've ever met all did their best work while caged and plugged in thigh highs but... Whatever
TELL ME ABOUT GAY SEX DAMN IT! DESCRIBE IT TO ME IN VIVID DETAIL! LEAVE NOTHING OUT!
I'd like to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs, terror for winning the war on terror, and disease for winning the war on disease. We've truly outdone ourselves this time. What an impressive lineup. A round of applause, ladies and gentlemen.
"Wow these demographics are wild... My social media platform OnlyFeds is completely flooded with preteen girls and violent anarchists... wtf?"
"Government is bad" *governs badly "SEE?"
...yeah. Every time.
Are there real concerns? Yes, some. Are there tons of misinformation campaigns actively trying to push anti-immigrant narratives and fake statistics to fearmonger and activate conservatives? Absolutely.
At least they have guns so they can resist a hypothetical tyrannical gove-... Never mind.
To be fair, "that I ever met" is doing some lifting there. Kinky trans&nb programmers are a minority of a minority of a minority. But a few of the best programmers I've met over my years while doing low-level C and C++ systems work just happened to be in that demographic... And wow: they were REALLY good at what they did. One was the kind of person who earned the right to wear a clip-on fluffy tail to the office, and no one would talk shit about. Different times, different places, but they were all the kind of people who would make competent management sweat about the low bus factor.
