Here's my estimate: 90% male, 9% female, 1% transgender or 'rather not say'

At the risk of overly complicating things 'Transgender' and 'male' or 'female' are not mutually exclusive.

I might go with non-binary rather than transgender, personally.
'Transgender' just means that they no longer identify with the gender assigned to them at birth - many FtMs (for example) would identify as 'Male' regardless of being transgendered (just like most cisgendered men would also identify as 'Male')
Trying to think up a useful analogy; not coming up with one right now, damn. But yes, Venn Diagrams. Simplified, of course.
Two large, non-overlaping circles 'Cisgender' and 'Transgender'. Lots of other, smaller circles, Male and Female being the largest of those, which mostly overlap with 'Cisgender' but also some 'Transgender' overlap, other of those circles are 'genderqueer', 'androgyne', &c, which are mostly overlaping with the 'Transgender' circle.
If that makes sense? Apparently gender-theory isn't really a subject that translates well to card-game forum posts. ;)

technically transgender people are for the most part male or female in their gender habits. Even most transgendered people still identify as one of the common gender binaries. In fact a lot of my transgendered friends would just say 'I am female in gender', for example. It's just there are others like kathoey, neutrois, or genderqueer that are neither psychologically male or female.

It seems like we have more Trangenders than females on TO. Wouldn't have thought that :D

Why is there no option for hermaphrodites?

Because hermaphrodites are an issue of sex, rather than gender.
