This does not address the substance of the comment you are replying to. In fact, that comment was itself replying to a comment making the same argument you are making, explicitly explaining why it is non-sequitur.

i went to an eff meeting at a hackerspace in 2006 or 2007, and it was hacker crypto nerds, mostly fat guys with ponytails that liked X files, gaming, and 2600.. some went to 2600 meetings.

I went 10-11 years later, and half the people at the meeting were transexuals, and it was a totally different vibe.

Something happened..
