Before reading the dox info from "The A-Team" on Lulzsec, and now Lulzsec on "The A-Team," it seems that within this particular group of people there's a rather large transgender population.

Anyone else find this interesting?

I think it gives credence to Lulzsec's dox and their denial of the A-Team's effort. A much simpler explanation than there being a large transgender population is there is only one transgender individual (Raymond-Claire) who constructed a fantasy world. For a transgender their sexual identity is undoubtedly a (disproportionately) big part of their identity as a whole and it therefore informs their every action. The appearance and emphasis on assorted physical and sexual deviances (deafness, ugliness, homosexuality) points towards writer's uncomfortable or even antagonistic attitude to their own body and sexuality which is again consistent* with transgenders.

* consistent as in correlated and strengthening the hypothesis at hand. I'm not implying all transgenders have such issues.

Of course it makes sense. These are mentally and spiritually ill boys who grew up on their computers, stuck in their own head, and likely without a strong father figure. Their development is more screwed up than output from a drunkenly coded compiler.

Trying to pretend they're girls makes perfect sense.

Can you explain why you think they're "mentally and spirtually ill boys"?
