not trying to be an asshole, but they're trans.
as in, biologically a male. they were born a male.
show me a western woman who's done some shit like this lmao.
there are probably 304830483048 asian women who've done more impressive things that nobody has ever heard the name of.
great meme though. just comes off as questionable.
What does that have to do with coding ability?
But you're being one
That's easy, there's one in the post.
Trans women are women, asshole.
This comment reminds me of reddit.
Admiral Grace Hopper, Kathleen Booth, and Margaret E Hamilton of the top of my head.
Also don't try attributing trans womens' achievements to men please.
I'll show you two right here, I eagerly await to hear about why these examples don't fit your highly specific criteria that no one asked for.
For someone not trying you have succeeded spectacularly well at being an asshole
You're right. You're not merely trying.
You've post 2 top level comments calling attention to the fact they are trans
Naw. You are an asshole and trying to be.

These are just the first two that popped into my head. If I cared to actually research it I’m sure I’d find a lot more.
To name an old example… Margaret Hamilton who is credited with coining the term ‘Software Engineering’ and helped write the flight control software for the Apollo Moon missions.
A more recent example would be Katie Bouman who helped develop the CHIRP algorithm that took an absolutely massive amount of data from radio telescopes to generate an image of a black hole.
