I am unsure what you mean by the last sentence.

You may not be convinced but I am simply stating my experience. I would be open to proof of the opposite. This is also seen in other open source adjacent communities around the world (eg: hacker conventions)

> In the 2010s there was a sort of emancipation for trans people, and you could see them more and more often being openly involved with open source software

It was "your" claim about others and in general ("you could see"), i.e., not mine or your anecdotal awareness.

> I would be open to proof of the opposite.

It's on you to prove LGBT, especially T, weren't already over-represented (versus typical population) in open source prior to the 2010s.

It's not on me to do anything actually. And to be frank I am unsure how you expect me to prove such a negative.

It was a claim about anecdotal awareness.

I am still unsure about what you meant by the last part of your last sentence in your previous post.
