solely because they are trans

No, it's because they are women and gay men don't date women. They don't want to date any woman, regardless of how if she's trans or not. So, really, the refusal has nothing at all to do with being trans.

It's a deceptive jedi mind trick they try to enact on others. The word "trans" means to transition to something else. But, you can't transition into another sex, & you're still a female. So, you're not going to be in a gay man's sexual orientation. These people, continuously play dumb, or just don't care.

That's why they get pissed when you say transman as 1 word. They insist you type 2 words as in: trans ... man is a type of man.

It makes absolutely no sense in terms of etymology but it conveys their doublethink.
