Why mainly trans women?

Hi,
Please don’t anyone flame me for this. I honestly don’t mean any disrespect, I’m just trying to learn. I’m curious and wonder if anyone has any insight to my question.
My attention has been drawn on the views of the likes of Forstater, de Wahl, JK Rowling (I know that’s not too recent).
I genuinely didn’t realise that believing in a biological definition of sex Is now deemed wrong. With that I’ve been trying to find articles and pieces to read to understand this (I do not have a lot of time on my hands for this, so not as succinct research as I would have liked(
But what I have come across, is that the group that are mainly upset with all of this are trans women.

So my question is...Why aren’t trans men seemingly as vocal about their definition of being a man?

Does this make sense or am I sounding like my mother when she talks about gay people?! I know I’m probably missing something and I sound quite thick. Apologies if that’s so.

Men don't feel threatened by transmen; there are no significant clashes of interest.
There was a transman (biologically female) who brought a legal case to be the father on the child's birth certificate. Some of the protesters e.g. at Sussex University look like they could be transmen - hard to tell though they might just be butch lesbians or gender non-conforming women. But yes because there is such a difference in physical strength between men and women, it is mainly transwomen or TRAS making all the noise.

Because they've been socialised as girls.

Because despite comments to the contrary, everyone knows who should be listened to and it isn't people born female.

Most media attention is focused on transwomen getting political positions, power and jobs while most transmen make the media for having babies.

It's almost like they don't believe their own spiel.

This is so true!
