For men working in technology there might be several factors. Autistic traits might be one, as there are connections between that and GID.

It could also very well be that this is confusing cause and effect. It might be that it is not men in tech more likely to transition but that men, as a whole, are more inclined towards working in tech so that those who do transition more frequently appear to work in that field.

Unsurprisingly, transgendered men, since they are men, will have interests more typical of men, which should be a huge slap in the face for the "born that way" hypothesis and the nonsense about "female brains" or "born in the wrong body" claptrap. But, it is hard to push past that, because, similar to feminists attached to patriarchy theory argue, there is always the out of explaining everything with a tabula rasa conditioned by society, a social constructionist view, despite the obvious complication that it fails to explain why then every culture across human history would have developed along the same gender lines in the first place.

In popular discourse there is also too little acknowledgment of the possibly psychogenic causes of autism that were the original hypothesis for the origin of autism in children. Nowadays, these are almost entirely ignored in favor of a focus on the portions that heritability plays. I also remember that another causal hypothesis, that of the "refrigerator mother", has long been abandoned by the psychology establishment, despite it having shown promise to be a more consistent and powerful (in the sense of statistical power) explanation when combined with an initial predisposition rooted in heritability.

That avenue of research might very well have fallen out of favor due to the affront it has caused women. There is a tendency in the psychology literature to converge towards the women are wonderful effect and to have a bit of a misandrist tendency, as the care professions are dominated by women. Single mothers are now lionized, probably for similar reasons, despite the gratuitously documented harm it is causing to children. So-called helicopter parents have replaced the traditional family. Children are being raised by screens and electronic devices. Non-conformity will be medicated with Ritalin. In every way, this is a recipe for a social mental health disaster.
