For what its worth I recognize all those names and they have all admitted it publicly so I don't think anyone has been outed yet. I also personally don't really care what a persons preference is, but obviously that has an impact on what their political and social views are and how that might effect the outcome of content on Wikipedia.
According to this, Category:Transgender Wikipedians, there at least 168 people who openly claim to be transgender. Another 186 or so claim to reject the gender label here: Category:Wikipedians who reject a sexual preference label.
Both those cats are missing some who have openly admitted, but it gives some idea.
I'm also going to go on a limb here and assume that at least some of the 764 folks in Category:Gay Wikipedians, the 460 in Category:Bisexual Wikipedians and the 140 in Category:Lesbian Wikipedians are probably transgender as well, or at least lean in that direction.
