A movement is calling for greater woman representation in [a sexist creative field dominated by men]. Eventually the field has several great creative successes, all by trans women. Would you consider this a success for the movement?

depends on what the movement sees as a problem--
- if it's "how women are socialized," then probably not
- if it's "sexism against women" then yes (assuming the sexist field is also sexist against trans women)
and...

Whenever I see an open source project led by someone with a female avatar, I assume it's a trans woman and 90% of the time I'm right

If anything, the success of trans-women where other “uterus owning people” have failed is/would be a setback for feminism.

I’d be interested to see this poll with the options separated by male/female

Diversity yay. Creative success yay. Not the result they wanted but it's a good result. I might consider it a success and they might consider it a failure so in summary: Partially.

I think the movement was successful in increasing woman representation, but it is still failing for a subsection of women. Theoretically the goal is to get representation to an equilibrium based off of individual interest. In this case the movement seems to have failed.
