Was very surprised about the gender ratio: 92.7% Male, 6.8% Female, 0.9% Non-binary, 0.7% Transgender

I was confused about this one - Transgender isn't a gender, it's a change of gender. Why would it be a selection? Wouldn't a trans person identify with M or F?
What were you expecting?
A lot more females?
Like 10% more or like 40% more females?

I get that a lot of people want more diversity in Tech, but honestly it's just not something most girls are interested in.

If you saw the following gender ratios for pre-shcool teachers: 92.7% Female, 6.8% Male, 0.9% Non-binary, 0.7% Transgender

Would you be surprised? Would you think more men need help "getting into the industry" since they are underrepresented? Or would you think that most guys just don't want to do that for a job/career?

Not a multiple choice answer, for one.
A non-binary coder? How does that even work? :P
