It’s probably lower in reality since it’s phone poll and minorities are probably more likely to participate in polls.

> minorities are probably more likely to participate in polls

on what basis do you believe that to be the case?

Just my humble experience. Any minorities (e. g. people of minor nations, like Icelanders) always try to remind everyone of own existence. Which is not a bad thing, and this is maybe untrue, but this could be an explanation of possible trans-people overrepresentation.
