There is a low incidence of transsexualism in the general population, but we are talking about the tech scene. And particularly among programmers, it seems to me that a lot of female programmers have a Y chromosome. Considering that there aren't that many female programmers to begin with, I wouldn't be too sure that effect is negligible.

I do not believe you

Well, it's just my personal impression. I'm not saying it's a majority, but there are a lot of trans people in the tech community. So if you want to make statistics, I think you should take that into account, and not pretend that they don't matter.
