It’s not unheard of among cis men too, my dad was always struggling to bulk up his legs because he thought they looked too skinny. Trans people just tend to be extra vulnerable to feeling pressure about their bodies, both for dysphoria reasons and societal reasons.

There's body dysmorphia too, which affects cisgender people. In my case it would be more the body hair I guess. And unfortunately shorts on men is also still kinda stigmatized, which is of course perceived worse for people who already struggle with their own body or have anxiety issues.
