As far as work quality, I think assuming trans people are better in some way is the same kind of fallacy as assuming autistic people are geniuses like Rain Man. Most of them probably aren't.
By my observations geniuses are very likely to be on the spectrum. At least 50%.
I really don’t know what the normal programmer experience is like, I exited the labor market before the DEI stuff really got traction. My rule of thumb is, of all the code that I’ve seen that I’ve been impressed by, it’s far more likely to be written by a transwoman than a non-trans woman by a significant margin. A disappointing observation for a straight male who had aspirations of dating a hacker-girl. Additionally the more impressive the code the higher percentage likelihood of transgenderism, I do think high IQ, autism spectrum / ADHD, and transgenderism are rather correlated.
No, I'm not.

The problem is, you are disproportionately likely to notice someone being odd and then incidentally being a genius, than someone normal who happens to be a genius. There is also an issue with the "continuum" nature of the "spectrum" that makes people assume that any bookish person with lame social skills has a neurological affectation instead of just a lack of social experience.

So you're really saying, the code is more likely to be written by a biological man than a biological woman. That is statistically true. Most women have better things to do than slave away on some obnoxious code.

I was lucky enough to date a cute engineer girl once. Unfortunately it didn't work out. It's like trying to date someone with 10x more options than a normal woman, who has like 10x more options than you by default. I could probably accuse her of being on the spectrum because of how she ended the relationship, but I think she just doesn't have enough common sense to accept the few minor flaws I have. Then again, idk who else she had waiting to date her in the background. It could be as simple as, she met someone with more money. She was rich and I wasn't, and that was a problem. As most women require a partner who makes more money than they do, having a girl who does the same job as you can be kind of a problem.
>Additionally the more impressive the code the higher percentage likelihood of transgenderism, I do think high IQ, autism spectrum / ADHD, and transgenderism are rather correlated.
I think all of those things are correlated because of social media, except for IQ. But at this point we are just speculating.
Again you're not understanding conditional probability, the code I've been impressed by has a strong selection criteria bias as I'm only impressed by a very very tiny percentage of code that I've read, additionally I don't read every line of code written. This selection criteria is so strong that the fact that men in total write more code than women is almost completely irrelevant.
A large part of science is dedicated to not finding obvious things out about IQ which is increasingly hard to do as statistical tooling and data has become widespread. Most academics are stuck with old data and tooling and a existential requirement to find only politically correct results. If you think DEI is bad then you should see the anti-racists pledges that must be made by academics for access to data. My findings are from a mountain of data and sophisticated tooling but unfortunately I can't make appeals to authority when posting anonymously.
