I've personally met more trans women IRL than trans men โ but regarding your experience, I also feel like trans women are probably more likely to be closeted than trans men.
Something something femininity being seen as weak and shameful
For some it might be personal shame, for others it's going to be survival strategies, for many it's going to be a bit of both. Women are disproportionately more likely to support trans rights while men are disproportionately more likely to oppose, and you can also generally count on women to not be actively violent and creepy in a way that you absolutely cannot count on with men. So I think that whichever is the predominant gender in your social group is going to affect the immediate consequences of your coming out, how many people around you are potentially dangerous and how large of a support network you can maintain after coming out โ and whichever gender dominates your social group is oftentimes determined a lot more by how others see you than by how you see yourself.
This is obviously not to imply that coming out as a trans man has no consequences whatsoever, though.
