As many women as trans people (1.6%).

[iskander]

It's possible that all the women who answered this survey were trans (since those two categories don't exclude each other).

That's actually a poorly-constucted survey question since a person can be a part of several underrepresented demographics in technology, which makes percentage breakdowns inaccurate.

This survey question allowed for people to describe themselves as they decided, and so people could select multiple choices if they wanted, as well as enter in free text. The percentages John used in this writeup should just be compared to the total number of people that replied, rather than across each of these demographics.

The percentages total 106.6%.

I've met most of my trans friends (three out of four) through Rust, it's indeed interesting that Rust apparently manages to appeal to such a specific demographic.
