Recent surveys on the sexuality of transgender people find that only something like 25% are straight (https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS-Full-Report-Dec17.pdf). This seems to run counter the idea that transgender people are gay people who transition socially to escape homophobia.
Most of them are males who are autogynephiles. They are attracted to women, but also to themselves as women. They grow up acting very masculine. Think Caitlyn Jenner.
