People of lower class has less time on such stuff. They just mentioned less.

I don't believe I have ever seen an AGP black trans woman in the media.

Remove "trans" from the equasion and everything will start making sense from that point on. It does not mean they don't exist, it means they just not focused and not given opportunities to speak (and they are often more poor, so have less time for post-modernism and more based in reality).

So what we have:

  • In media and in power mostly shown middle/high-class white transwomen. Transmen are rarely mentioned, and if mentioned it is mostly when speaking about periods or pregnancy. Black transwomen are mentioned really rarely and mostly when speaking about sports, especially running. I only saw mentions of black transmen only once, and even then it was accidental. Asian transmen and transwomen are forgotten completely.

If we replace "gender identity" with "sex", we will have picture which corresponds to current reality about society in general:

  • In media and in power mostly shown middle/high-class white men. Women are rarely mentioned, and if mentioned it is often when speaking about periods or pregnancy. Black men are mentioned rarely and mostly when speaking about sports, especially running. Black women you can count on one hand. Asians are often forgotten.

Makes sense now?

And it is same everywhere, if you replace "gender identity" with "birth sex" - it will make perfect sense and will be same as for general population.

21 transgender politicians were elected in 2020 in USA? 20 of them are transwomen, 1 is transman, 1 is black. Same tendency as in politics if take according to sexes - most are white men, sometimes black men and sometimes women.

And same with everything.
