"It's not because most trans used to be gay, AGP has always been more common than HSTS in the West"

I'm not so sure about that, at least in regards to the UK - I watched a 1970s BBC documentary on transsexuals and all of the transwomen in it were attracted to men or in relationships with men. Even in the 1990s and 2000s most of the trans celebrities I can think of were HSTS. And I'm not sure about "most drag queens used to be straight men" - certainly guys like Danny LaRue and Stanley Baxter were assumed to be straight at the time but have come out later in life, they were just in the closet.

That will be because back then, transsexuals and transvestites were recognised as two completely different groups. And most transvestites were quiet about their kink in day to day life. Yes some of them would force it randomly on the unsuspecting public for kicks. But they wouldn't announce it at work and expect to be recognised as brave and stunning.

Most AGP don't want surgery so that's why they don't show up in that documentary.

You are confusing transexual and trans gender.

A lot of AGPs do have surgery though, specifically the ones with anatomical autogynephilia
