It absolutely does. That feeling of abnormality is one of the things that helped push me into tech--I wasn't normal, so I went to a place where I hid my non-normalness in a way I never could (so thought my 15-year-old self) from real people.

Great end result for me, but painful at the time. I'm looking forward to the day when tech isn't something girls like me get punted into by accident.
