I think it gives credence to Lulzsec's dox and their denial of the A-Team's effort. A much simpler explanation than there being a large transgender population is there is only one transgender individual (Raymond-Claire) who constructed a fantasy world. For a transgender their sexual identity is undoubtedly a (disproportionately) big part of their identity as a whole and it therefore informs their every action. The appearance and emphasis on assorted physical and sexual deviances (deafness, ugliness, homosexuality) points towards writer's uncomfortable or even antagonistic attitude to their own body and sexuality which is again consistent* with transgenders.

* consistent as in correlated and strengthening the hypothesis at hand. I'm not implying all transgenders have such issues.
