For context, it looks like about 5% of California's prison population is female (by sex) [0], and there are something like 2-4x as many trans women as trans men [1] in the population as a whole. So that discrepancy is probably pretty consistent with the relative prevalence of trans men and trans women in the prison population, meaning that trans men and trans women in prison are probably about equally likely to request a transfer.
