Programmers used to be so hostile to women that they needed to transition (evolve) to refill the niche.
Makes sense, now where do furries fit into that..?
Real answer is that autism leads to self isolation which naturally also leads into tech, and autistic individuals are more likely to come out as trans if they are because theyre already ostracized. Furry communities also highly appeal to autistic individuals because its a literal mask that lets you redesign yourself either online or in person with a fursuit.
