Why is is always about the trans women?
In the case of India probably they are more present in daily life. I'm not Indian and I'm quite ignorant of Indian culture but I don't think there's a masculine equivalent of the hijra (in terms of participation in social life as a group). Might not be The reason, but might play a role. But again, seems that everywhere in the world trans men are more invisible so I don't really know.
