I have yet to meet a furry or trans IT person IRL.
Visit any comic or anime convension and you’ll find the former in spades.
As to the later, idk. I’ve got three cousins who came out as Trans in the last five years or so.
There’s definitely been a thaw around sex and gender over the last twenty years, and I can’t help notice a certain number of “butch lesbians” and “sis men” just saying “fuck it, I’m the other gender and straight” and going all the way.
Or is bullying a bigger issue there maybe?
Bullying certainly. But also there hasn’t been a large and active transgender community until fairly recently. People coming to terms with what being transgender means and how to self-actualize it wasn’t possible in the homophobic atmosphere of the 20th century.
We’ll see how long this revolution survives in the current century. Germany also had a boom/bust of transgenderism in the 1920s. Hopefully, Trumpism/Starmerism isn’t a bell weather for that kind of reactionary reversal.

That’s either phrased poorly, or a frankly insane take on gender.
