Guess I managed to get in before it closed. :/ I hope that's ok with Hasbro UK.

My first thought was that Mairghread Scott must have signal boosted/reblogged something about this on tumblr (she did, it's a post demanding all female fans respond to the survey). Add that to the assumption that most of her transformers fan followers are also female.
According to the post, the split was 70/30 male to female about 10 hours ago

But at the same time, I don't think seeing a close to 50/50 split is unusual. It's the same with video game and comic book audiences (and the population in general, haha).
Just because you're personally not seeing equal representation at one US convention a year, or on major fansites, doesn't mean there aren't a lot of them. There are plenty of female fans that interact on other sites like tumblr and deviantart.
