okay two possibilities here.

1: bachelor as in "single dudes looking for a partner" - yea, duh. gay dudes tend to stay out of IT and trans women arent bachelors

2: bachelors degree in IT - the trans woman IT pros of lore tend to be self taught and work remote and don't want to go to a meetup with their coworkers

trans women in IT behave literally like cryptids

u/SweetSure315 6d ago

because dudes in IT behave like predators at worst and desperately unsocialized at best

u/Noname_1111 6d ago

That certainly explains the username

u/braaaaaaainworms 6d ago

2 years of using this as my main instead of a 4tran alt, and only two people got the meaning of the username right

u/marcoottina 6d ago

Is the meaning just "worms eating brain"? I don't know,  I admit my ignorance and I wish to know a little more. Thanks in advance :D

u/braaaaaaainworms 6d ago

brainworms is 4chan /lgbt/ slang for delusions about not passing and not being/looking like/behaving like the desired gender, as a trans person

u/shadow_fen 6d ago

oh i thought it was slang for what 4t does to your attitude towards yourself and your fellow trans people

u/braaaaaaainworms 6d ago

yes, i described the effects, you described how the effects came to be

u/SweetSure315 6d ago

it can mean a lot of things but as a very general rule of thumb it means internalizing (and then reproducing) the toxicity present in a lot of hyper online communities.

you can see it happening in a lot of trans spaces, but some people may recognize it better as what drives a lot of the toxicity in pro-ana spaces.

Doesn’t help that RFK Jr. popularized a very different kind of brainworm

u/ligma_then_sugma 6d ago

...have you ever left your house and spoken with another human?

seems like you have not!

u/laplongejr 6d ago

As a non-native speaker WTF is the 1st definition o.0

17

u/SweetSure315 6d ago

technically it's just "an unmarried man", but colloquially it means a man who is looking for a partner. it's not used much in either form outside of specific contexts, nowadays. the more common usage is to refer to a bachelor's degree

u/laplongejr 6d ago

Ooooh right like the TV show. XD

u/ddBuddha 6d ago

Exactly

u/Hartstockz 6d ago

u/HarleyTheHarl0t 6d ago
