Based on my experience both in developer communities and outside of them, I don't find that surprising. While it is evidently true that there are disproportionately more men in tech, it also seems to be true that there are more queer/trans/non-conforming people in tech.
Also I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers are actually higher: assuming the choices are exclusive, the way they are worded it's not clear how transgender is intended to be represented in the results. Not everyone who is transgender sees their "trans" status as a distinct gender identity (i.e. the emphasis in "trans-woman" or "trans-man" doesn't have to fall on the "trans" aspect). I think a clearer distinction would have been a separate question "my gender identity matches the gender I was assigned at birth" (instead of distinguishing between male, female and "trans") but that might have overcomplicated things.
