I used to think that. But the amount of people hiding it, or just coping, is probably higher than you think.
Like I live in a pretty small city with an average gay community, and all it took was one person coming out as trans for a bunch of others to go “oh you know what me too - let’s do this,” so now we have like a whole posse of trans men that I see at the gym all the time (with their gains and their cool names lol).
I’m not saying this is always the case by any stretch, but if someone is super butch or super femme, they might not be cis.
I have never met a trans person and I’ve only known about 3 gay people personaly… so why are they in every source of media?

You have met trans people. It isn’t in every source of media. You are experiencing warped perceptions. Show this post to someone you trust.
Get out of here jerkface! /s
As far as you know
Yeah good point
It’s part of an effort to normalize seeing it. I think it’s probably good, but it’s just a bit unrealistic sometimes and feels very forced. ':)
