Just curious

AMAB means assigned male at birth and AFAB means assigned female at birth

whoa, are there really that many trans people on the board? I know of a couple but I didn't think they'd avoid a tripling.

I can think of a few explanations:

  1. this topic is of greater interest to gender minorities than cis people
  2. people are lying
  3. that thing that causes transwomen to outnumber or nearly-outnumber ciswomen in competitive fighting games and chess and programming and other niche interests for people who hyperfixate on minutiae
I think it's real interesting that only 2 AFABs answered (unless there are some among the crazyisgoods)

Almost certainly a combination of 1, 3, and secret #4: turn of the millennia era internet forums about video games were like 90% boys (/people who understood themselves to be boys at the time) to begin with so obviously that means more trans women down the road.

also double-secret #5: in terms of "avoiding a tripling" don't forget crazyisgood is absorbing a good chunk of votes

that said my reaction was still "holy shit, there are over 20 of us here??"

Transgirls-to-be are often awkward shy kids who don't fit in in the ingroup but enjoy nerdy hobbies they can enjoy on their own that let them express creativity and explore other worlds and then they find a tribe within those hobbies even though they are male-dominated

Yeah, a lot of B8ers discovered themselves later in life it seems.

That's true, the crazyisgood voters are probably cis men

About 1% of the general population is trans:

https://usafacts.org/articles/what-percentage-of-the-us-population-is-transgender/

Given that a b8er is 20x as likely to be trans as a member of the general population, and basically nobody here identified as trans 15 years ago, what do we think that says?

a) Something about being a b8er correlates with a higher-than-average probability of being trans
b) A significant chunk of the general population would identify as trans with some more introspection
c) The b8 environment makes people trans
d) Something else

A is substantially more likely than any other explanation fwiw

Board 8 is significantly gayer, more progressive, and lives in countries with more LGBT rights than general pop (and even was 15 years ago) so I imagine that accounts for a lot of A.

sign me up for the A + B + C combo though
