A not-insignificant proportion of women in coding are trans women, with some joking about the ubuntu-to-estrogen pipeline and "programming socks" https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/programming-socks. Lots of software engineers are trans women, including the ones working at investment firms. I don't know how much trading gets done by "traders" as opposed to "programmers", but I would expect that T-blockers and estrogen pills are already on the rise in the banking sphere, even if it is currently mostly in the back end.
Interesting. I hadn't heard that. Seems like it wouldn't cause the same issue I'm talking about in this article, but I'm curious about it in any case. Is there data on this, or a theory about why trans women might be overrepresented in programming?
