I found this on the IFGE Facebook page…
But from what I have observed in the community is it seems like many of us go into “masculine” jobs either to hide or hope it will cure us. So I can see where this could happen; I know of two trans-people who are radio amateurs, they knew each other on the air, and they met accidentally at a support group meeting. Another trans-woman that I know who is into trains met someone that “he” knew though their mutual love of trains at a trans-conference.
But I do think the odds are small that both pilots that covered the “chase” are both trans.

They were two rivals who hated each other until about a year ago when after years of not seeing each other, they discovered that each was transgender and were now living life as women, according to the radio program Off-Ramp.
