A decent number of straight-identified men prefer trans women, at least for casual sexual encounters, for a myriad of reasons.
I think "decent number" needs to be quantified to be in any way useful for the discussion. Are we talking 20% of the population? 5%? Less?
the patterns of consumption of porn featuring trans women suggest this
Transsexual porn is very much a minority of all porn produced, though. There'd be a lot more of it if there were a much more sizable population of consumers.
I don't know, I bet you've interacted with at least five hundred women in your life.
1 in 500 is just .2 percent. There's a lot of extremely small groups of people that fit that sort of number, and which are so small a group that you'd probably never think to ask if a person is a member of such a group. Like, I wouldn't think to ask every woman I met if she was a Mary Kay consultant (there are about 600,000 Mary Kay consultants, which is about .2% of the American population).
