What's up with these trans-memes surrounding linux? Are they just a loud minority?

Eheran , vor 7 Monaten

Trans etc. are always a minority, obviously. They would not have to fight for their rights otherwise.

No idea why they are so highly visible here. Probably highly concentrated in Lemmy.

no one should have to fight for their right, but that doesn't change the fact that non-trans people enjoy customizing their os as well. so answer to the original question is yes, it is a loud minority.

People that enjoy customizing their body happen to enjoy customizing their OS too.

A lot of gender-floaty people work in IT, because they feel at home with the other socially-inept people like me.

And a lot of people who work in IT use Linux.

So there is a ton of overlap.

While funny to meme about not really true. IT is made up of all sorts of people. Furries, trans, lgtbq+, tired oarny old men and everything in-between.

Fun fact: they're actually the same person, but he sold it and bought it back when she realized the gross mistake she made

Damn, you assumed pronouns like 4 times. Get ready to go to trans jail (jk)

QuazarOmega , vor 7 Monaten

Wait, I thought I implied the gender change correctly?

platypus_plumba , vor 7 Monaten

You IMPLIED? That's even worse than assuming. Life sentence.

Dammit, I'm busted... (but they'll never know I'm also a racist)
