As a trans woman, being fetishized is pretty much the only option I have if I want to date men. Sad to hear trans men deal with this too.

It's pretty crazy if you look on any porn site under the trans category. If there even is porn with a transmasc person (rare), it's almost always with a cis man and the trans man is always on the bottom. Feels gross that that's the only thing available most of the time.
That might be a category with higher straight crossover appeal (and as a result preferred algorithmically without additional data prompts) but trans dom kinks are prevalent.
Anecdotal but a friend told me she shifted her client base to cis male subs for various reasons, the foremost being greater demand.
Opposite end of the aisle here, but I hope my comment is welcome. I think a lot of this stems from the bioessentially prescriptivist attitudes a lot of people have. It's for similar reasons that trans women are often framed as predators in women's spaces that trans men are framed as "smol beans" to protect, or misguided by the Trans Agenda™. It's an assigning of hyperagengy to AMABs and hypoagency to AFABs, and it's really gross.
The most "fun" part I'm guessing is when you call it out as a reactionary attitude and cue the shock and horror to the thought, that maybe unsolicited infantilization doesn't paint transmascs in the positive light they think it does.
