This sounds a lot like how one of my friends describes it. She's a riot — she jokes that she came out as trans because as a chronic tech nerd, she reached a fork in the road where it was either "libertarian tech bro" or "anarchist cat girl".

Unrelated to that anecdote, as a queer cis woman, certainly a lot of the joy and catharsis I get from tinkering with tech feels like the same fulfillment I derive from queer community. I think there's a lot to be said for how a person's perspective influences how they approach problems. Like, as a scientist, there are definitely areas where I feel like being a queer, autistic woman affects how I approach a problem.

As a Marxist cat (?) girl, the barricades will be stormed by people in thigh highs and cat ears.
