I don’t make the rules…. but I have observed far too often for it to be coincidence that the more brilliant a type theorist is, the more likely it will be that they identify as 🏳️⚧️ or 🏳️🌈.
Counterpoint: I used to be a computer scientist in obscure languages, I’m as cis as they come, and I’ve always been absolutely average. Wait that’s not a counterpoint at all
Dunno about type theory per se but I visited a Haskell-based company a while back, and they said 50% of the women they interviewed were trans. Not sure of the cause and effect relationship. I know of several male-at-the-time programmers who got interested in Haskell and then transitioned later.

Maybe taking estrogen will elevate your rank.
Would this be considered doping?
I mean, you’re gonna be dope as hell!
type theorist?
People who use templates and types to achieve absurd outcomes that just work, maybe?
I have seen a few haskell magic.

They’re putting something in the Haskell that’s turning the coders trans! (jk)
It’s kinda like set or category theory. The kind of math that hardly resembles anything at all yet somehow applies everywhere, to infinity and beyond
