    Obligatory mention that the old-school greybeard archetype still exists and I’d guess that more of those are gay than egg or hatching / hatched (UrbanDictionary is no help here, but I assume those are terms. If not, please extrapolate.)

    There may also be other archetypes not predisposed to needing HRT. I’m not sure what archetype Linus himself is, for example. The distinct lack of beard means he doesn’t quite fit greybeard, and it sure looks like he’s comfortable as he is.

    But it’s good to know that tech folks are now available in more stripes than the original stereotypes. It keeps the weirdy-beardies* who still live in musty wizard towers on their toes if they dare to come down.

      I mean look, all of this is just good fun. Everything is just stereotypes and this should all be taken with a huge grain of salt. I don’t think there’s actually any correlation.
