It could be, but the author only complains that the game doesn't billboard trans characters enough to make it obvious when you're talking to one. See below:

So it's possible the city has plenty of trans characters if you go around and pay attention, but because a major npc doesn't explicitly say "hi I'm a trans person" the author just kind of assumes that the representation doesn't exist.

Like, in 40 hours if they interacted with dozens or hundreds of NPCs how did they go about determining which ones were and weren't trans? because if you're talking consistency in world building, in a future where you can just replace your genitals with cybernetics why are we assuming that it's obvious who is and isn't trans? Wouldn't it make more sense that people didn't bring up their orientation at all because it stopped being a big deal when you could plug and play whatever you want it?

The game has one night stands and hook ups that the reviewer went for. So I'm sure it would come up there. The game seems to have a lot of seedy night clubs and bars. There's plenty of places for it to come up. You aren't playing as some guy who works a 9-5 job. Strippers having bulges in their pants should probably be a common occurrence if that ad is any indication.
