What drives troons to CompSci?

[Johnny Salami]

I was in engineering and we didn't have a troon problem like the computer science/software engineering deoartment did. I would notice the smell of the computer labs whenever I used them after they did. I don't think my engineering classes had a single troon, meanwhile in a lab of 22 people, there were 7 troons.

So why do they gather in that one STEM field? It's not the course work since engineering/compsci have the same core classes. The classes aren't exactly easier. Is it simply knowing that the silicon Valley HRs will more likely hire them?

 

[Knight of the Rope]

Pretty much, yeah. The thing about being an engineer is that you're actually expected to be competent (with lawsuits and actual prison time in cases where your fuck-up has destroyed things and/or cost lives). So the career already doesn't appeal as much to your unscrupulous types (read: troons) that need layers of gray to justify their own abominable existences. And on the other side there's employer incentive to gatekeep, because a dude that thinks he's a chick and has a million mental gymnastics routines ready to defend that "scientific fact" probably isn't trustworthy with other yes/no facts like "Hey is that bridge structurally stable?" and "Is this mission-critical software robust to input errors?".

Programmer socks.

Agreed.

Also since engineering is largely a discipline of physical realities it's going to be confronting to someone whose entire mental framework is built around denial of physical reality.

CompSci has a lot of the autism (practically an entry level requirement to troonery) of a hard science while tacitly encouraging people to live in the realm of ideas divorced from much of physical reality. That kind of thing appeals to someone whose existence constantly demands so much fantasy.

They are trying to become the girlfriend they want.

They live 24/7 on the internet, might as well do something computer related.

 

[Least Concern]

Interest in computers and troonery are both associated with something in common; autism. I don't think that troons are driven to CS so much as that the interest in either topic has a common root.

A disproportionate percentage of trannies are autistic. Studies have confirmed this. Additionally, CompSci is by far one of the most popular majors for autistic people. Put two and two together, and you end up with tons of tranny programmers.

It's also dominated by disgusting men. Coincidence? I think not.

This is a huge component. I've seen actual MTFs discuss it in relation to the OP question on social media. Even pre-pandemic, CS was heavy on remote and non-customer-facing work, etc., plus it usually meant good disposable income and DIY scheduling. Any and all factors you might assume would accommodate reclusive types and people who are too shitshowish to function in most jobs that require a person to be presentable and tolerable to be around and interact with.

 

[Bad Take Crucifier]

Just straight up autism and the fact that most troons started out life as regular incels who are addicted to vidya games and tabletop games.

 

[Retink]

It's binary and a phallic 1 can become 0.

 

[WULULULULU]

CompSci is gay. I genuinely hate programming, mainly I'm not too autistic enough for that shit. EEE is where its at. Mechanical and Civil if you got bigger balls/desire for the monies.

“What drives Troons to compsci?”
Maybe it’s the other way around, compsci people are the ones attracted to trooning out.

 

[Broseph]

I had an online computer programmer friend who was clearly on the spectrum since he had some very autistic hobbies and interests since he was into furries and loli and he even trooned out a few years ago
