It's not statistically wrong, as about half of transfems would be willing to date men. However, most of those are also bi or pan, and when the dating environment for men is so full of chuds, women and enbies are more appealing.
I feel like there's less of a mental barrier to transitioning if a trans girl likes boys. The gay cis to straight trans is less of a social jump than straight cis to gay trans. If your friends already think you're gay and are cool with it, they're more likely to be accepting when you come out as trans. So they probably transition earlier and just get on with straight woman things, like sobbing into a glass of gin because their husband doesn't take them seriously. You know, instead of shit posting on Linux forums.

It really should say lesbians instead of women, as otherwise it's kinda confusing.
Also, hai Maria! :3

Pretty sure woman is more inclusive and what you actually mean.
It's literally not all lesbians and not all transbians in the first place.

The first hurdle: ”wait people can be something else?! How? I don’t identify with that, so it can’t exist.”
Anything beyond that is processor overload for them.

I can't imagine how people can be anything besides a sapphic transfem who shitposts on Lemmy every day 🙄

That's not a strawman, I say that, and it's quite an effective pickup line.

I'm led to believe that most trans women are into men. For some reason. Not here apparently.

I'm not saying I understand the choice to date men. I'm just saying quite a few do.

More than half are also into women, so it all works out. No matter what your gender is, the majority of trans people are probably into it.

More than half I believe yes, I feel like they tend to be quieter though.

Huh, that's actually not a route that had occured to me, but you're probably right.
