The odds are a lot higher in a furry trans person than a cis white MIT grad of having genetic differences boosting programming skill (AVPR2, ASMT)* as well as extra effective sleep from extra estrogen-induced CRHR2 leading to extra AQP1 INMT, & more, plus finally extra-aggressive neural adhesion between pcdh11x/y on the X chromosome (co-regulated with androgen receptor), and nerve branching, insulation, and odor-attraction control from 6p21.33.

*Co-transcribed with Sex Steroid Sulfatase, which activates androgens, estrogens, and progestogens from inert/storage forms. **Co-transcribed with 17-beta-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase-8, which deactivates androgens and estrogens, but also activates some amount of estrogen to estradiol.

The peoples' instincts aren't wrong!
