fwiw all the trans programmers I've met are world class. correlation is not causation obvs but you don't seem to understand the difference anyway.
Yeah nice anecdotal evidence. Just cause they spend their entire lives behind the computer becoming more and more deranged, doesn't mean that they are equipped to lead. This is especially true if you have any sense of morality or worldview that isn't completely fucked and nihilist.
Are you coming out as trans though? Congrats!

How many trans programmers have you met?
Do transgender programmers defy the myth of female programmers being subpar? I mean fake female programmers

I have yet to meet a transgender programmer that it's not excellent, but that's of course a stereotype. One could argue that gender dysphoria has some links with being on the spectrum, thus having the ability to hyper fixate on something.
Take Alyssa Rosenzweig for example, she built a fucking OpenGL conformant Apple GPU driver for Linux from scratch (Apple don't even support OpenGL).
I don't care for gender, anybody can be gifted. Personal and political beliefs cannot and should never hinder progress. They're distractions.
