-Title: Survey Data on Cis and Trans Women Among Haskell Programmers
-Date: 2021-01-01
-Category: other
-Tags: Haskell, sex differences, Python
-Status: draft
-
-Stereotypically, computer programming is both a predominantly male profession and the quintessential profession of non-exclusively-androphilic trans women. Stereotypically, these demographic trends are even more pronounced in "niche", academic, or hobbyist technology communities (_e.g._, Rust), rather than those with more established mainstream use (_e.g._, JavaScript).
-
-But stereotypes can be _wrong_! The heuristic process by which people's brains form stereotypes from experience are riddled with biases that prevent our mental model of what people are like from matching what people are _actually_ like. Unless you believe [a woman is more likely to be a feminist bank teller than a bank teller (which is _mathematically impossible_)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunction_fallacy), you're best off seeking _hard numbers_ about what people are like rather than relying on mere stereotypes.
-
-Fortunately, sometimes hard numbers are available! Taylor Fausak has been administering an annual State of Haskell survey [since 2017](https://taylor.fausak.me/2017/11/15/2017-state-of-haskell-survey-results/), and the [2018](https://taylor.fausak.me/2018/11/18/2018-state-of-haskell-survey-results/), [2019](https://taylor.fausak.me/2019/11/16/haskell-survey-results/), and [2020](https://taylor.fausak.me/2020/11/22/haskell-survey-results/) surveys include optional "What is your gender?" and "Do you identify as transgender?" questions, as well as the anonymous response data. 
-
-I wrote a script to use these answers from the CSV response data for the 2018–2020 surveys to tally the number of cis and trans women among survey respondents. (In Python. Sorry.)
