Most of the trans girls i know are massive nerds. I'm no exception. I think that back before the 4chan poison, nerd culture used to be a refuge for people who did not fit traditional gender roles, but where either not queer or not out yet. If you were a scrawny AMAB person who didn't enjoy getting into hands-on physical competition with boys, a TTRPG group was a safe space, whether that was because you were an egg like me, on the spectrum, or whatever else. And when i look at the cis girls on my RPG discord, they didn't care about most stereotypical girly stuff, they cared about starting an all-girl RPG group with their friends and claiming that whole acting and storytelling and worldbuilding thing for themselves. And now that we're grown up, we have to start our own safe space for nerdy girls and allies and queer and PoC roleplayers because the forums we used to frequent got overrun by manosphere-brainwashed STEMbros after the gamergate watershed.

It's a pity, really. TTRPGs in particular have so much potential for things like gender exploration, queering established cultural narratives, or just goofing around and doing high camp. When my egg cracked and i realized i need to try living as a woman, one of the first things i did was finding a play by post group so that i could try out different gender roles without having to worry about passing. I constantly see trans people post memes about how they were known as the player who always rolls up characters of the "opposite" gender. That hobby is almost predestined to become a staple in LGBT+ communities, especially once you include story-focussed indie games that are also attractive to the parts of the community that grew up with fanfic.
