You have a gender pronoun. You likely expect people to refer to you as "he" or "she." You likely extend that preference elsewhere, to honorifics like "Mr." or titles like "Chairwoman."
I've met more trans people than I've met Ukrainians. That doesn't stop me from supporting Ukraine.
Only about 20% of people in IT/programming are women. This alone means you should hear about 4 trans women for every trans man in this field.
To show how that works out, with ~0.5% of the adult population trans that means about 80% * 0.5% = 0.4% of the population is a transwoman, so if you see a woman in IT there's a 2% chance she's a transwoman.
On the other hand, 20% * 0.5% = 0.1% of the population is a transman, so if you see a man in IT there's a 0.125% chance it's a transman.
As an extreme case, if no assigned-female-at-birth people go into IT, then 100% of all women in IT will be trans.
