Pretty sure there are some examples of men (and I think at least one of a woman?) lesser than we tempting the Sisters in the Black Library too :D .
I'm not great with names either, but I have his series on audible for after I finish the Infinite and the Divine because damn that man is a legend.
Only .0001% of people are psykers, (for comparison 10% of people are left handed and 2% have green eyes) yet we can still sacrifice 1000 every day to keep the Emperor alive and have for 10,000 years and send them to die in the IG. Even on M2 earth, by WH numbers there would still be 8,000 Psykers on the planet. Craftworlds have been described as the size of planets (and population descriptions are useless because the writers do not agree and a single named Craftship can have wildly different estimates between stories). Currently all of humanity could still fit into New York City. What percentage of Eldar, the species that created Slaanesh, do you think would be reasonable to believe would be willing to screw a human? Statistically speaking, I'm guessing no matter your answer, there will still be at least tens of thousands on every Craftworld who are curious.
This is the real Math-hammer.
Any member of the Adeptus Mechanicus however will tell you that this is HERESY. Not the pairing, though it is, sweet sweet heretical fanfiction, but ignoring the Sapience line difference. No matter how advanced the Eldar are, the difference between Sapience and not is a matter of Holy Importance, there's no degrees about it, a Sapient Machine is an Abominable Intelligence. An advanced machine spirit is a glorious and holy thing, proof of the superiority of man! Until it crosses that line, the distinction is not made no matter how advanced, look at the Ark Mechanicus and Titan's Machine Spirits, and after that line is crossed, it doesn't matter no matter how advanced it gets.)
But the Sororitas are just people, incredibly devoted people with advanced training and wargear, but they aren't transhumans.
Basically the process for making Astartes has a really low survival rate to begin with, and is specifically designed for the male body (because it would have to be redeveloped from Alpha to be as compatible with the female body, so why go to the effort when the process mostly sterilizes your super soldiers and you need them at home making more babies to send to war anyways?).
The Sororitas were instead originally a warrior cult known as the Brides of the Emperor who were re-discovered after the Horus Heresy, and were taken as the personal enforcers of Goge Vandire, the borderline(?) insane and insanely corrupt leader of both the Administratum and Ecclesiarchy during the Reign of Blood in M36, starting the Age of Apostasy. (He's one of the people responsible for how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ everything is, up there with Erebus honestly).
Anyways the Ecclesiarchy was forbidden from having Men at Arms, but he pulled a Witch King of Angmar and shouted that "These were no men". As the Master of the Administratum he approved the rules lawyering and now he had a private army of ruthless devoted warrior women he had convinced he was the voice of their husband-emperor (half the source for why some people think they're celibate).
The future Sisters proved their quality however when one of my favorite subfactions (genuinely), the Custodes, FINALLY got off their asses after the civil war he had started reached the Palace and did something about the lunatic tearing the Imperium apart from the captains seat (techincally the Custodes didn't know it was happening cause this was their "only pay attention to things inside the Palace so we never fail to protect the Emperor again" phase, but, still, by the Emperor...), and took the leader of the Brides, Alicia Dominica, to meet with the Emperor, who pulled himself together enough to tell her "Never trust someone with a name like Goge Vandire". She walked out of his holy chambers and immediately shot Goge then told her sisters to help her un-♥♥♥♥ everything. Out of respect for that (and the use of the Sisters of Battle) the Ecclesiarchy got to keep the Brides of the Emperor, who reformed into the Adeptus Sororitas. Also they added a sticky note to their holy book that said "thou shalt not let anyone be both the Ecclesiarch and the Master of the Administratum, you twits".
