@ayylmao ?

@fluffy They were about 1 percent each, and the way they asked the question made it fairly clear that the categories were "cis male, cis female, binary transgender, or gnc" which is... questionable at best, but still interesting

@tindall I don’t remember if I took the survey this year, so I probably didn’t. I’d have been pretty annoyed if they treated those categories as separate, as I’d hope to represent my gender as “trans nonbinary female”

Also interesting that nonbinary is a larger group than “regular” trans, but their wording also lumps a lot of related-but-not-the-same things together (people using GNC as an equivalence class to NB is one of my peeves here)

@tindall @fluffy They noted in the survey that the gender categories were "select all that apply", so presumably one could've selected "man" and "transgender".

@Skirmisher @fluffy hmm, didn't realize that. That's much better

@Skirmisher @tindall ah, that’s a good way to do it. I didn’t bother to see if their percentages added up to 100 but like, the big takeaway is that non-men in tech is still largely a rounding error.

@Efi @tindall leo's quoting from the survey, i'm pretty damn sure he knows that

@er1n @tindall ah! I missed the quotes u/////u

@Efi @er1n no worries!

@Efi @er1n @tindall still it is admittedly upsetting to see ignorant language like that show up in the survey, y’know? argh :(

@garbados @Efi @er1n yeah. I agree.

@tindall @garbados @Efi @er1n yeah im on this boat too..

@Efi hence my evaluation of that methodology as "questionable at best"

@tindall wait....is this even politically correct? "I identify as autistic"

@LottieVixen it's a technical thing. Survey respondents "identify" as everything that they select on the survey.

@tindall ah...okay hmmm

@tindall @LottieVixen yes, it is pol correct, many autistics don't view it as a mental illness but a natural variation of human neurotypy, we believe a lot of the disability is society based, not neurotypy based.

@codeawayhaley @tindall ty
