论文摘要
通过在线轶事证据和在线社区,有一个小组内跨性别人士(特别是跨女性的人)不成比例地进入计算机科学教育和领域。现有数据表明这是一个合理的趋势,但是尚未对原因进行任何研究。由于计算机科学教育(传统的教育或自学成才)对于在计算机科学领域的工作是不可或缺的一部分,因此进行了一项简单的研究调查,以收集有关138个跨性别者在计算机科学和计算机科学教育方面的经历的数据。本文的目的是洞悉跨性别者选择计算机科学道路的动机,同时充当基础并呼吁采取进一步研究。
Through online anecdotal evidence and online communities, there is an in-group idea of trans people (specifically trans-feminine individuals) disproportionately entering computer science education & fields. Existing data suggests this is a plausible trend, yet no research has been done into exactly why. As computer science education (traditional schooling or self-taught methods) is integral to working in computer science fields, a simple research survey was conducted to gather data on 138 trans people's experiences with computer science & computer science education. This article's purpose is to shed insight on the motivations for trans individuals choosing computer science paths, while acting as a basis and call to action for further research.
