If you found someone attractive, would you date them if you found out they were trans?

It’s my personal choice. I’m not against trans people at all, but I just don’t see myself dating a trans person, I hope that is understandable!
sure, I am not meaning to challenge your personal choice, but I guess without explanation it's hard for me to know why you feel that way, that's all I'm curious about - just wanting to understand.
You don't have to explain if you don't want to, though- I'm just interested in more details if you have any.
edit: particularly if a woman was post-op, had transitioned as a child, and being trans was an irrelevant fact from their distant past, I have a harder time knowing what the remaining problem is, or why you wouldn't date them. They are for all intents and purposes a woman, as much as any cis woman.
