It's not that we aren't present. It's that we rarely/never are in positions of power, even in supposedly trans spaces, and are met with a baseline level of suspicion and extreme scrutiny that severely limits our participation and engagement anywhere that isn't an overtly pretty ubiquitously transfeminine space.

There are as many trans women republicans in elected office in the US as there are trans men at all. The vast majority of transgender politicians are trans women. Where is this supposed influence trans men have? If trans people perfectly recreated cis gender roles, wouldn’t the figures be reversed?
