Almost certainly gay men who have been more or less forced into it because the alternative is death. Generally speaking you get more AGPs among transwomen in more "permissive" societies where women and gay people aren't directly oppressed by the legal system, and more HSTS in societies where they are.

I think you're thinking of Iran. I don't think Saudi Arabia makes any additional leeway for TiMs than for other homosexuals, whereas Iran has a law that homosexuality is illegal but transsexuality (with surgeries etc.) is allowed.

No, I'm thinking of a documented cross-cultural trend. I don't have specific information about Saudi Arabia - if you do, please link.
