There’s probably a LOT of selection bias in there.

What? Is willingness to answer polls inherited via the Y chromosome?

Willing to share your gender/sex with the internet is probably socially tied to being male.

Yes but that is a social trait that we would expect to include trans males. It appears that all categories (cis, trans etc.) are disproportionately dominated by AMAB than AFAB people. This makes it seem like the issue is tied to biological sexual traits not influenced by medicine/surgery (such as chromosomes), rather than gender.
