Basically. I know at least two other trans women besides myself from my graduating class.
Stereotypes, all of us 😅
First semester of my cs degree, it was around 50/50. After 3 semesters very few women were left. Spoiler: it was not because they could not handle the courses.
Was it because they could not handle the intercourses ?
they surrendered. sound familiar?
I was one of three women in my year who graduated in CS at my university. I did most of my course work at home…trying to be one of the guys and make sure kindness wouldn’t be considered flirting made for a weird 4 years. No horror stories to tell though , just plenty of awkwardness.
Simply get a boyfriend instead
"Are you kidding me? Just LOOK at these nerds!"

Some of the ugliest sexism I've seen was at the CS faculty in my university. The courses are packed with niceguys and kneejerk anti-feminists.
We had one of our lectors straight up tell us in front of full class (18 ppl: 16 guys and 2 gals), that we are going to use our diplomas as a hot pot stand. And we are here just for show, to hook up with smart guys. Yes, those were his exact words.
Nothing in me or the other girl suggested that we were attending lections to flirt with someone. Especially knowing that both of us were quite diligent students.
He also was very open and proud about him being sexist. It's still baffling to me that people like that exist, succeed, and have a bloody confidence to take pride in their shittiness.
I don't know where this was, but in most places this would be grounds for a serious report. It's unacceptable for a person in a position of power to act like that.
Sadly, considering where I lived (not US, and not EU), I strongly believe that nobody would give a damn about the report.
I'm extremely curious, what country?
Russia
Oof, sorry to hear that.
Its the pride that keeps baffling me. "Yes I am an asshole! I choose to live like this and if you don't you're dumb!"
Just wait for them to buy programming socks
What's wrong with programming socks?
Nothing is wrong with programming socks. But that will be a sure sign of women in the room.
Ah ok, I missed the joke, but then, both my husband and I have binary socks, and I have GitHub socks as well, so... I am the joke, I guess? :)
Nothing, he'll just finally have women to date in his CS classes.
What are programming socks?
White and pink thigh highs.
Funny thing is that in our “regional delivery center” in Romania, most developers are woman, and CS is a very desirable study for woman there
I think where you messed up is trying to date other CS majors. True love comes from dating the Comparative Lit majors. And when that doesn’t work, accounting.
Coincidentally also works for career changes.
The mono bank shirt lmao

Too much of sack smell
Cyrillic text on the screen. Hmm.
That is VERY sus. Hmm.
devious some might say.
But it's all the friends we made along the way. That's that counts right? /s
I laughed way to much at the text on the board
Coding with the boys💪
