Nice example.
WSC, how has the proportion of admins that are openly women vs openly men changed over recent years? I'd guess that if you don't know then nobody does. :-)

Sorry Fae,
I mostly focus on new admins and overall numbers of them. My educated hunches are that:
- the vast majority of new admins are men - Male admins are disproportionately desysopped - Female admins are more likely harassed off the site. - The last two points largely balance out
But I don't have the stats to be certain of any of that.

An interesting related question is: How many admins are approved whose sex is totally unknown?? Similarly desysopped

Well, here is the lis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Former_administrators/reason/for_causet of users who were desysopped "for cause". That is, they weren't desysopped because of a clearly compromised account, because of inactivity, because they died, or resigned, or they changed accounts, or they "vanished".
There are only 33 names on that list and, as far as I can tell, only one of them identified as being a woman. To be honest, I looked at that list and found it a bit disturbing that I've actually met at least 10 of those desysopped admins (they were all male). Kinda made me wonder about the company I keep. ;-)
As to how many are approved without a clear knowledge of their gender identity? Probably most of them. There are, without doubt, a lot of administrators assumed to be male who are actually female; the actual number is hard to determine, but I'd estimate at least 50, particularly amongst admins who don't frequent "drama" areas or participate in real-world activities.
For the record, I was widely assumed to be a male editor up to and even including my RFA. I made the decision to "come out" as a woman just so the nomination pronouns would be accurate and nobody would think I'd pulled the wool over anyone's eyes. And even still...the first vote to oppose my candidacy referred to me with "he" and "him" all the way through - as was pointed out by several other RFA participants ("did you even read the nomination???") This is a bit of a longwinded way of saying that, at least up until 2008, it was generally assumed that all RFA candidates were male unless they had disclosed otherwise.

How would you know, (and possibly demonstrate to others), that the user's sex is totally unknown? (to Wikipedians other than the user implied) Cheers, Peter

Great news.:) I don't think that gender plays a very important role in En WP's RFA. Still an unopposed RFA indicates the candidates' great contribution to the project.
