There is no visual component to sexuality. Given that GitHub profiles are mostly just a name and profile pic, you can’t tell someone’s sexuality while you can easily tell if someone is trans.

Ehhhhh this swerves into a long discussion about the stereotypes trans people face, how we have really narrow ideas about what men and women look like that leads to cis folks getting misgendered and the weird world of people who deny that passing trans folks exist.

HOWEVER, you can easily tell trans folks on github because their avatar will be an anime picrew.
