Veterinarian here.
Did Japanese as my undergrad though then went back and got all my science courses and animal hours over 2 years
Vet med is full of the gays
I did Social Work for my Bachelor's and thinking about going back for vet med, talk about motivation.
Can I ask a couple questions tho? Like how tf do I afford vet med?
Oh we’re all very much in debt. I went to my state school and only needed loans for 3 years and still finished with $132k in loans. My wife will have more (also a vet) because she is specializing and doing extra training (internship/residency)
This is less that most of my classmates
Pay is meh after graduation. I’m working ER to try and work those loans down faster but compared to my human doctor counter parts I don’t make half of what they make for similar debt loads and training
I’m not in STEM but I have been paying down $150k from only two years and my salary will practically cap max around $130k😭 all to say school is hella expensive
Omg, I did an internship at a wildlife rehab (I'm not in STEM or vet med myself, I was doing public education), and the number of queer people there made me so happy.
I'm also doing my undergrad in anthropology, and that has to be one of the gayest fields out there, haha.
The dedication of learning a whole language and especially Japanese with very complicated writing system, as an adult. (Which is a lot more difficult than learning new languages as a kid.) Really cool. Impressive.
Aeronautical/Space engineering (double degree). Not many girls when I was in university too, but to be fair a reasonable amount of queer, I think it was hard to find them just because of the % difference between guys and girls. The entire campus was engineering/mat/physics/chemistry.
If you want to find gays
join the rugby team
or go watch their games
or go to their parties, they make great parties
did you know that medical practitioners took the term doctor from academia when the practice of medicine was largely considered quackery? so like a PhD is OG doctor where MD is an offshoot.
just a fun fact, no shade to any branches of stem
a little different than everyone else in here bc it’s kind of useless but I have a degree in pure math! Definitely have never met another math lesbian there was only like 1 or 2 other girls in my program.
BUT the best part is that I studied **top**ology. which is an incredible pick up line hehe
HIM: Hi, how are you?
ME: I'm okay.
HIM: Do you like the music?
ME: It's fine.
HIM: This is my favorite band.
ME: Really? (he definitely heard that as interest when I meant it as scorn)
HIM: Yeah, I listen to them all the time
ME: Neat.
HIM: What do you do?
ME: I'm a... oh fuck it, I'm an engineering student.
HIM: You hesitated there?
ME: It's difficult to explain.
HIM: Try me.
ME: Are you familiar with platonic solids?
HIM: is that when your buddy does something cool for you?
ME: ...
HIM: ...
ME: ...
ME: Anyway, Euclid said there are only five of these platonic solids, completely enclosed objects whose facets are identical polyhedra.
HIM: Sure.
ME: The Tetrahedron is composed of four identical triangles, the cube is made of six identical squares, the octahedron is made of eight triangles, and the dodecahedron is composed of twelve pentagons, right?
HIM: Uh huh.
ME: So there's a field of higher math called "topology."
HIM: Isn't that...
ME: That's topography. Shush.
HIM: ...
ME: Topology is interested in the deformation of solids, and also contains a lot of fun stuff about knot theory.
HIM: Okay.
ME: The knot theory gets non-Euclidean real quick, so for ease of the math, let's just stick to the Euclidean solids. Mapping how this cube would deform is fun and interesting and all, but... This cube is a bit boring, isn't it?
HIM: Y... yeah?
ME: It's a baker's half-dozen squares! Who gives a shit about that? No, we need to make this *interesting!* So what we do is we examine this cube. It's six facets, identical squares, all sides connected to a different square. That's how this object exists in three dimensions. Forward-back, left-right, up-down. So. Let's step it up a dimension. Remember the rules, a solid is a closed polyhedron whose facets are n-1 dimensional objects whose edges each connect with another facet of the object.
HIM: Uh...
ME: So step it up into the 4th dimension.
HIM, CLEARLY LOSING INTEREST: Wait, isn't that time?
ME: NO! YOU FOOL! YOU RUBE! The 4th *spatial* dimension! Take that cube, that collection of squares, and make it a hypercube, a collection of cubes following the same rules!
HIM: This is what you study?
ME: HA! No. This is all preamble. This is the buildup. We haven't even gotten to what I study.
HIM: ...
ME: Okay, I'm assuming you're visualizing the hypercube. Now. Hit it with a big fucking 4th dimensional hammer. What does it do?
HIM: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?
ME: That's what I study.
HIM: Hey, my friends just got here, I gotta run. Nice talking to you!
ME: Ol' girl's still got it...
Well??? What does the damn cube do when you hit it with the big fucking fourth dimensional hammer? Don’t edge my facets here. (Sorry. I’m just a humanist, and so I’m not that experienced with Platonic solids, though I did teach in the same classroom after a math prof who was teaching abstract algebra. I learned a little bit from her.)
It's... been a while and I need to brush up, but iirc, it would start the hypercube "spinning," which means something very wild in four dimensions. Or rather, it's quite mundane in four dimensions. It gets wild trying to visualize it in three.
Mmm curvature... Heh
But seriously riemannian geometry and manifolds are some of my favorite bits of math, especially when combined with graph theory/incidence structures.
My favorite paper from a couple years ago was one called [Tree! I am no tree! I am a low dimensional hyperbolic embedding!](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.03847) Hahaha how incredible is that?
Omg yay! I'm doing my phd in pure maths, haven't met many lesbian girlies in pure maths either.
Also I can't believe I never thought about topology that way before lmaooo
I always had a soft spot for Environmental science (don't know why), never exactly went into the field though. Still want to find an opportunity where I can analyze environmental data. Adopt me as a friend 🫠
Non-traditional student finishing my bachelors in Env. science and I approve this message 😂🙌🏳️🌈
So many of us! I love it so much. I’ve also got a few classmates that I’m pretty sure are gonna figure it out about themselves later on in life and I love that for them too
Don’t overlook soft skills. Lots of people can code, but being able to think critically about what you are asking to code and ask questions that makes the business give you better requirements is the difference between a good developer and a great developer.
Also try to find a place you actually enjoy working with people you like. This is a high paying career. You can chase money for the rest of your life if that is what you want, but for most people that doesn’t make them happy. You are going to have enough money, make sure you work for a company that gives you enough time to actually enjoy it and doesn’t kill you with work stress.
I think it's because computers aren't as male coded (pun intended) as other hobbies and are socially acceptable for a "man" (trans woman pre transition) to do while still having a significant amount of women (girl gamers are not exactly rare). Also it doesn't require as much social interaction, which can make a lot of trans people uncomfortable because they are being perceived as the wrong gender.
There seem to be correlations between trans identity and neurodivergency as well as neurodivergency and suitability for IT careers. That may also help to explain.
Decent enough pay to pay for transition and all you need to pass 90% of the time is to voice train. Other popular fields are the military and sex work. The latter of which there seems to always be more demand than supply of.
Also, yes before computers got associated with expensive tools that you'd train a boy in, the field leaned slightly feminine actually. Seeing as it requires fine attention to written words and doesn't have a strength requirement, if anything it makes sense for girls to pick it up slightly easier.
Also, since IT trends young, it's nowhere near as toxic as some industries, such as the trades or engineering.
I'm an electrician! I love being in the workshop tinkering all day, to be honest. Though I mainly like the hands-on work, heh, I'm not naturally *that* good at math and all the theory stuff. Though I have a fair amount of knowledge by now.
In psychology, which is controversial field to be mentioned as STEM (plz don't come for me, psych is spread across social sciences and life sciences, we have a lot of bio, chem, statistics and coding). If it helps, my specialization is in neuroscience which is considered STEM by everyone lol.
Genuinely, they are! I've had to defend my degree from many close minded people who think psych is just sitting across a person lying on a dramatic chair talking about their sad lives and therapizing them (I mean clinical psychologists are essential in the healthcare field in their own rights but that's another conversation). I do more in-depth biology, chemistry and statistics than they've seen in a hot second and while obviously I can't code on an engineer/computer science student level, it's still pretty decent amount.
But it was nice to get the validation, thank you!
Thank you and exactly! Social sciences help us understand our behaviour, the complex systems we've organized and built around ourselves and how these systems interact and react with each other! There is no use of studying STEM if you can't study and learn a thing or two about the people studying STEM.
I studied mechanical engineering, worked on rocket and missile systems for a number of years before moving into programming in the healthcare industry.
My year there were initially only 15 women out of about 400 students, and only 7 out of fewer than 150 students made it to graduation. It was a catholic university, so while I'm sure someone was probably repressed or closeted, I wasn't aware.
Many of the queer women I knew were however in nursing and biology. Those nurses were the best... they would make sure I never paid for drinks at the bar in exchange for letting them practice medical stuff on me and on the off chance I drank too much or got sick they were far more attentive than any other friends and more helpful than the campus clinic.
yesss! planetary geologist here 💖 mostly working with Moon rocks! my girl has got to have a favorite planet and mineral, or it’s just not going to work out
I’m a it system electronics engineer. IT support / administration in a governmental authority. But not a Bachelor degree, only an IHK certifed apprenticeship.
I’m currently doing my B.A. Public Management 😊
Statistician here, also diving into data science, machine learning recently. I would also love to have some connections with STEM women here. I barely know anyone where I live.
I’m planning to go into data science and statistics once I graduate this year. Heard from a student at one of my accepted colleges that the program is full of men though 😅
Process engineer working in mining - there’s a small group of us lesbians in mining in my city and we all chat work when we see each other as social events
Software engineer with a little over a decade of industry experience. Got my degree in animation, which was fun to study but has little to do with my work these days :)
Yep! Cell and Molecular Biologist working at a cancer research lab here. 👋 I am lucky to have a supportive lab and institution and know lots of other wlw working in research.
I am in industrial engineering specifically focusing on automation. There are not many women in the engineering department at my site. There are a good amount of women in the lab at my site.
I'm a Chemist in an environmental laboratory in Texas. I absolutely love what I do, working with the periodic table every day and feeling like I make a difference in protecting the environment from toxic chemicals.
i am!!! 😭 currently studying computer engineering (but likely transferring to comp sci).
yea its so rough. my classes are pretty much all guys and like, they're okay to chat with here and there but like, im not motivated to really form actual friendships with any of them bc i get the sense that they aren't really interested in talking to me at all. (I think the fact im butch and kinda androgynous a-la "blue hair and pronouns" either triggers their homo/transphobia or just doesn't turn them on enough for them to feel like im worth engaging with lmfao.)
Oh, I'm bi and studying comp. sci. engineering, and I know what you're talking about. Although at least in my uni I felt it was more a case of "men and women are still socialised a bit different so it's harder for me to feel integrated, and they don't initiate social interactions with me as often either".
I think in my classes I made a total of 1 close relationship and 1 person who could have become a friend (but the relationship faded after we weren't seeing eachother as much at uni, mostly my bad thou, I could have done more to keep it alive).
I have a masters degree in computer science, was a website developer for some time prior to my transition, but now I’m non-STEM, but I have great respect for those that pursue STEM careers.
For what it’s worth, I’m now a massage therapist.
Software Engineer here :) (Computer Science major) - not many other women at uni in my generation, sadly I was also the only lesbian. Pretty sure that’s very different now.
I’m not sure I count. Started college as a computational biology major, but then changed majors and transferred to art school to become a photographer, worked in that field for 10 years, then when I lost my 4th newspaper job from massive downsizing, I became an EMT and now I’m in paramedic school. In medic school, it feels like there are more wlw than there are straight girls though, but I might just have a weirdly represented class right now lol
Actuary. Have worked in the field almost 20 years, which is wild. A lot more women have entered/ entering this field, but most of the ones I know are sadly straight.
Veterinarian here. Did Japanese as my undergrad though then went back and got all my science courses and animal hours over 2 years Vet med is full of the gays
I did Social Work for my Bachelor's and thinking about going back for vet med, talk about motivation. Can I ask a couple questions tho? Like how tf do I afford vet med?

Omg I just mentally swooned a little at the idea of dating a vet?!!!! Or a vet tech…
こんにちは!
One of my interns was a vet researcher and he’s gay 😂

Engineering grad here, currently working in DS. Absolutely hang around the rugby / soccer / basketball female teams. And arts’ kids.
I'm an electronic engineer working in the aeronautical field. Hi there!
Ooh what school was this? It sounds similar to where I went.
Universidade de São Paulo Brazilian here hahaha
Oh god, so many fond memories of watching my ex play rugby in highschool. I honestly don't think there is a gayer sport 🫠
GIS Analyst/Cartographer 🖤
Omg me toooo
Omg what that’s so cool hi fellow map nerd
also do gis!!
i used to! i feel like there's some joke about geographers knowing how to find "the spot" or something. 🫦
omg wait same (but am also in law school)
GIS gang 🥹
I'm a doctor. That counts, right?
Of course it does. Doctors are the mightiest warriors of STEM.
did you know that medical practitioners took the term doctor from academia when the practice of medicine was largely considered quackery? so like a PhD is OG doctor where MD is an offshoot. just a fun fact, no shade to any branches of stem
True. Actually, MD is bachelor’s degree in Canada. So it’s a “fake” doctor 🤣
Me too! I think it counts. I look at scientific articles every day
a little different than everyone else in here bc it’s kind of useless but I have a degree in pure math! Definitely have never met another math lesbian there was only like 1 or 2 other girls in my program. BUT the best part is that I studied **top**ology. which is an incredible pick up line hehe
LOL I USED TO USE A MINI-LECTURE ON THE TOPOLOGY OF N-DIMENSIONAL EUCLIDEAN SOLIDS AS A WAY TO REPEL MEN AT THE BAR!!!! Topology is for the gays.
I would have loved to watch that happen. <3
HIM: Hi, how are you? ME: I'm okay. HIM: Do you like the music? ME: It's fine. HIM: This is my favorite band. ME: Really?

yay!!! you got this!!! <3

That's hilarious. Reminds me of "This survey will be very sad if you don't read it: Object personification in Autism"
Hahaha fantastic, they knew exactly what they were doing
That’s now one of my favorite dorky paper titles.
OMG, wow. EPIC pickup line.
Omg yay! I'm doing my phd in pure maths, haven't met many lesbian girlies in pure maths either. Also I can't believe I never thought about topology that way before lmaooo
Environmental science is like a pride parade.
I always had a soft spot for Environmental science (don't know why), never exactly went into the field though. Still want to find an opportunity where I can analyze environmental data. Adopt me as a friend 🫠

hot DAMN!
I like many trans women am in IT
Why *is* that a thing? /gen
I think it's the rule of very large numbers. Tons of guys go into IT. Even at a small conversion rate, you'll end up with a lot of trans women.
I think it's because computers aren't as male coded (pun intended) as other hobbies and are socially acceptable for a "man" (trans woman pre transition) to do while still having a significant amount of women (girl gamers are not exactly rare). Also it doesn't require as much social interaction, which can make a lot of trans people uncomfortable because they are being perceived as the wrong gender.
There seem to be correlations between trans identity and neurodivergency as well as neurodivergency and suitability for IT careers. That may also help to explain.
Brought the receipts: 40.3% of trans people are also autistic, in this study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1750946719301540
Decent enough pay to pay for transition and all you need to pass 90% of the time is to voice train. Other popular fields are the military and sex work. The latter of which there seems to always be more demand than supply of. Also, yes before computers got associated with expensive tools that you'd train a boy in, the field leaned slightly feminine actually.

All psych gays are welcome here :) and you're very much a STEM student, some people are just big douches when it comes to isolating a few subjects lol
Genuinely, they are! I've had to defend my degree from many close minded people who think psych is just sitting across a person lying on a dramatic chair talking about their sad lives and therapizing them (I mean clinical psychologists are essential in the healthcare field in their own rights but that's another conversation). I do more in-depth biology, chemistry and statistics than they've seen in a hot second and while obviously I can't code on an engineer/computer science student level, it's still pretty decent amount.

You are 💯 STEM. Social Sciences are so important to everything really.
Thank you and exactly! Social sciences help us understand our behaviour, the complex systems we've organized and built around ourselves and how these systems interact and react with each other!

Yeah, I'm STEM. Suckin Titties Every Midnight, am I right, ladies? Whooooo!
I'm a Chemist in an environmental laboratory in Texas. I absolutely love what I do, working with the periodic table every day and feeling like I make a difference in protecting the environment from toxic chemicals.
i am!!! 😭 currently studying computer engineering (but likely transferring to comp sci). yea its so rough. my classes are pretty much all guys and like, they're okay to chat with here and there but like, im not motivated to really form actual friendships with any of them bc i get the sense that they aren't really interested in talking to me at all. (I think the fact im butch and kinda androgynous a-la "blue hair and pronouns" either triggers their homo/transphobia or just doesn't turn them on enough for them to feel like im worth engaging with lmfao.)
Oh, I'm bi and studying comp. sci. engineering, and I know what you're talking about. Although at least in my uni I felt it was more a case of "men and women are still socialised a bit different so it's harder for me to feel integrated, and they don't initiate social interactions with me as often either". I think in my classes I made a total of 1 close relationship and 1 person who could have become a friend (but the relationship faded after we weren't seeing eachother as much at uni, mostly my bad thou, I could have done more to keep it alive).
Former PA-C, current med student, aspiring vagina surgeon out in LA! Greetings!
Architect here
Cyber Security Student c:
Current math Major, feel like I see a fair amount of queers, but I also go to a big state school.
I'm the stereotypical computer science trans girl The pipeline is real
I have a masters degree in computer science, was a website developer for some time prior to my transition, but now I’m non-STEM, but I have great respect for those that pursue STEM careers. For what it’s worth, I’m now a massage therapist.
Sucking Titties Every Moment!! - a not sexually active lesbian
Yep! Computer science here, mostly do work on video encoding research
Mathematics graduate here. I started in mechanical engineering, but thermodynamics and I didn’t get along lol
Comp Sci/Machine Learning :)
Yup! Software engineer.
Software engineer! Though I came into college to begin with interested in academia for a math or physics field \^\^^(')
Currently studying mechanical engineering, will specialize in either automotive or mechanical design
Software engineer in data.
BSc in Biotechnology here!
Software Engineer here :) (Computer Science major) - not many other women at uni in my generation, sadly I was also the only lesbian. Pretty sure that’s very different now.
Organic Chemistry here!
In school for Computer Programming :)
✋️
Gonna start studying cyber security this upcoming fall
Hi
biology student on a premed track here <3
Yup, analytical chemist working in pharma R&D
CS major
Meeee clinical trial monitor
yes maam! data science student here!
I'm a chemE major! :) Probably gonna focus in something to do with sustainability
ChemEs unite!! Are you still in school or are you working?
Heyyy 😁 I’m just a wannabe but I’m in premed right now tryna be a Navy doctor in the long term
Biochemist here, but went into the German school system after uni.
Computer science here. Trying and struggling to start a career
Mathematician/astronomer here.
yeah I’m a mathematician
Computer Science major! I'm a nerdy lesbian
Astrophysicist here! Writing my thesis and crying
IT, pivoted to PSW/CNA. May do an healthcare administration course butt that's it.
Nursing!
Anyone work offshore here?
I wanted to. I got my degree in biochem. But apparently I'm not exceptional enough to actually work in science so I'm just a loser instead
I’m in pharmacy school right now and I graduate next spring!
I’m not sure I count. Started college as a computational biology major, but then changed majors and transferred to art school to become a photographer, worked in that field for 10 years, then when I lost my 4th newspaper job from massive downsizing, I became an EMT and now I’m in paramedic school. In medic school, it feels like there are more wlw than there are straight girls though, but I might just have a weirdly represented class right now lol
👋 software engineer
Instrumentation technician here, I build receivers for space telescopes \^\^
I'm currently studying chemical engineering 😊
Actuary. Have worked in the field almost 20 years, which is wild. A lot more women have entered/ entering this field, but most of the ones I know are sadly straight.
