Most of my followers are male, and this is true for trans and nonbinary people; most people who report 'nonbinary' or 'trans' on my surveys were born male. Whatever selection effect is bringing all the boys to my yard is also working for people who are male but not boys

iirc roughly 25%? I've polled this before

Your rationalist-adjacent followers will presumably also have a predictable gender skew.

Didn’t know about the porn. Only found out about it from a crypto podcast. The algorithm led me to you.

I mean, I just follow anybody "south of center" I find interesting. That said, I do think the intersection of rationalism, sex and something I'd call "realculture" (analyzing society by the way it is, not the way we wish it was) is something very interesting on its own.

Besides porn, I'd guess that most of your other interests (crypto, your politics etc.) also lean male.

Fwiw: I follow for the interesting, well constructed surveys and slightly unusual takes on life.
