To be fair, in my experience there are much more trans women in manga than trans men (and no, not just counting porn). I don't think it's so weird for OP to want to see a little more representation of the latter.

There are more trans women than trans men in RL.

Lol nah, the statistics you likely heard that bit of myth from were ones that only considered trans men who had obtained surgery as being "legitimate", and considering how much longer trans female surgery has been a wider-known thing, it's not hard to see where those skewed statistics come from.

More recent statistics show there's a pretty equal distribution, which also seems to bear out even on heavily AMAB places like Reddit when you compare the subscriber count to places like /r/MtF and /r/FtM.

Yeah, ignore the person who commented below you. That's a load. Not to mention the very first person in Japan to pursue legal gender reassignment surgery (without going abroad, I'm sure trans people of both genders went abroad when it was illegal in Japan) was a trans man. He called a doctor who specialized in phalloplasties for Japanese men who lost part or all of their genitals in accidents, and he asked if this doctor could do it.

So it's not exactly as if there's not a bunch of trans men in Japan. They're a huge part of the trans scene there (and everywhere else, obviously).
