I don’t think they were saying that trans people are evil? They were asking if it’s true that there is anything uniquely tech-ey about trans people.

In my experience having worked in tech, yes? There’s a disproportionate number of trans people in the tech field.

Why? Because being trans means isolating oneself from society and finding alternative means of entertainment and engagement through the computer screen. This results in a disproportionate number of trans people having far higher tech abilities than the average person who didn’t spend their entire youth in a dark room looking at a glowing monitor.

It’s not genetic. It is material conditions that drive more trans people into seeking an outlet through the computer.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea to consider how to engage the trans community with propaganda that steers them away from evil-tech and into good-tech. Especially given that there was a specific time period where the feds were targeting lgbt people and trans folks to try and recruit them.
