I’m going to assume that OP and most people posting here know the difference between trans and drag. Some drag queens are trans, most are LGBT, some are straight. But trans women are women.
Trans persons - at least many of them - mostly want to pass and have their identity accepted. This goes for trans men and trans women. And most people would like to be seen as attractive.
The truth is though that you might just be into trans women. There’s nothing wrong with that per se, but the community is generally aware of and quite wary of “chasers.” Those are people that fetishize trans persons.
The difference between being attracted to trans women and being a chaser is whether you see the person as an individual or as a class. Think about white guys who are really into Asian women or black men. In the one hand, it’s fine to have different tastes and perceptions of beauty. The fetishization occurs when the individuality of the person becomes less important than the fetishized quality.
There’s also the probability that OP is fixating on the sort of hyperfeminine transwomen that are often quite prominent on social media, when in fact there are many transwomen flying under the radar. I would guess that OP is attracted to lavish displays of femininity, and you can find a lot of those in the social media presences of some transwomen. Some biological women as well, but OP is exposed to many, many, more biological women that do not display themselves with this feminine style.
No judgement on any of this I’m just trying to articulate a statistical and aestheic phenomenon.
