“Bla bla bla internet and tech is mainly maintained by trans folks”
Well from what I can see from my everlong spent time in tech, is that the vast majority of tools broadly used as foundation are coming up from the FOSS. And it’s community de facto composed by cis white dudes (the social category who can have the more privileges to dedicate times to hobbies like this).
(It’s also a community who, even if it’s trying better, have a long history with indulgence over transphobic, racism and other form of bigotry. But that’s a subject for another day)
And so in Every Fucking Tech tool, changing your name/nickname is a FUCKING NIGHTMARE. So no, for obvious reasons absolutely no trans people have been involved during the creation and maintenance of those tools.
