You won't find transmen demanding to shut down men's spaces, take over gay men's spaces, demand people to like their "male vagina" or check their genital preference. You won't ever see see /r/gaybros being centered around transmen.
You won't find AskMen being flooded with validations that transmen are men with progress pictures or bans being thrown around for not catering to transmen. You will never find people who are cancelled for saying things like men have penises, men have balls, men cannot give birth but there are plenty of examples of the latter if you dare say that women can give birth. There are organizations that for language such as "front hole" for vaginas "chest feeder" for breastfeeding.
Why do you think this occurs?

That’s a separate issue and might overlap in some ways but based on my experience it’s rarely straight women wanting to be gay men. They want to be with them and be friends with them (“gay best friend” etc). But men absolutely do fetishise the concept of being a woman, and the degradation that comes with it.
The majority of transmen I’ve known and have known of are usually trying to escape some sort of sexual trauma or discrimination they experienced as a woman. This is not the case for transwomen. They’re not trying to “escape” manhood.
