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

    Counterpoint: I am a trans woman in CS and I am incompetent

    Maybe you just have imposter syndrome: you think you work in CS but you actually work in retail.

  • I think that would be a contrapositive, as the truth table is the same; unlike a converse or an inverse where the truth tables would be opposite

    But we're also working with inductive logic here, so maybe truth tables aren't the right tool to use anyway

    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.

    They're putting something in the Haskell that's turning the coders trans! (jk)

    What about Gödel, Frege, Cantor, and the other great philosophers-mathematicians of the 20th century?
