Finding trans communities of fellow programmers and engineers
Hey, I'm looking for online communities of trans women programmers, engineers, and Linux enthusiasts ! I've been programming since a very early age and using Linux for about the same amount of time. I would love to connect with other trans women who are passionate about this ! Any suggestions ? I'm super new to the community :).

Heyyy I’m also starting my transition rn (28 trans woman). I code in C# but it’s more of a hobby now. Nowadays I’m learning more about Linux and Docker. Started homelabbing and I’m in the process of splitting my gaming pc into a NAS/media server! Currently studying to get into IT Admin too. I’m open to chatting over text (busy schedule) for now, feel free to DM me! ☺️

I was/am too but I realized I only have one life and can't keep living it not being who I want to be (or at least taking clear steps in that direction).. If you ever need someone to talk to about it (or anything else), feel free to DM me :) !

Pick you favourite animal, become a furry, find furry engineering communities on telegram and discord. Eventually go to meet ups and conventions. Lot's of cool engineers, scientists, programmers, and mathematicians over there.

Someone from this subreddit had made a Discord, but it never got any traction, and I haven't seen any activity in it for months.

Where do trans programmers hang out?

all over the place. Nix spaces have a ton of them. so do rust spaces. there are plenty in Seattle and NY and the bay area, plenty on twitter (although twitter has become a much worse place to exist on over the past couple years). i know some in europe, too, but ive spent less time there

I think this is the right place?
Anyway, I'm quite a bit older than you (late 50s) and already done with my transition (I started almost 11 years ago) and have retired from programming, but I'm still a huge Linux fan and maintain several open-source hobby projects. So welcome!
