Why is there more focus on trans women than trans men?

Because through a Second Wave feminist lens of articulating and demonstrating women's inequities, men are historically and unambiguously the architects and enforcers of those inequities. Trans rights activism -- including AGP activism -- is no exception.

TL;DR men are sex-inequity ringleaders.

But trans men are a part of trans rights activism as much as trans women.

Who's in charge the vast majority of the time? Who easily gets positions of power? I'll give you a hint. The trans people who have male bodies hold most of the positions of power and influence. Sexism holds true even after transition. Go figure.

An historically much smaller part. This didn't start yesterday.
