The board is 7 people. I'm unclear what makes this awkward or inconvenient.

The proportion of trans people in humanity is less than 50%. Pointing this out makes it seem the board has a disproportionate number of trans people.

I mean it probably does? A somewhat disproportionate number of people in software are trans.

However, you could look at it the other way - if you take any group of 5-10 people I bet they're disproportionately something. Very few groups are selected evenly from all of humanity.
