but you’re posting on LessWrong, which means you ’re interacting with the Rationalist community, which seems to have way, way more trans people than national average. I mean, look at manifold.love, the community’s take on a dating site, and see how long it takes to encounter a trans person. Or, for that matter, the community talking about AI risk contains a bunch of trans people, so you’re pterry much guaranteed to encounter at least one in any extended discussion of AI risk.
I am interacting with the Rationalist community basically through LessWrong only. As you could infer from my first post, I don’t live near SF or other notoriously queer-friendly cities, and I’ve never been to a Rationalist meetup in person. This is kind of the point: the average joe in the average mid-sized town could live for years and years without meeting a single obviously trans person (in the sense of someone who had visibly transitioned through medical procedures).
