Awww thanks Ben 😊 I really love dev.to and the community it has become!
Unfortunately no 😬 I didn't really know any prominent trans folks in code before coming out (though I have since realized there are actually quite a few of us :D). Most of my pre-coming out solace came from the Reddit communities I mentioned above, and what really motivated me was this over arching feeling that while the first time I came out was one of the most gut wrenching moments of my life, I've only been happier since 💜
Congrats Meghan! You have been an awesome community member and we on the core team look forward to getting to know you more.
As for a questions:
Are there any transgender folks in code that inspired or helped give you the courage to come out?

Oh yes, definitely. Several prominent open source leaders doing amazing things for code and humanity.
