true, it's hard to fit all the context I wanted to add within a title ...
my question is really meant to ask how people would react to learning someone they are attracted to and would otherwise date is trans
If I just asked "would you date a trans person" I would expect the reader to think of an ugly trans person because that's the stereotype, and then the answer is usually no, but that doesn't get at what I'm wondering about.
Go with, if you were romantically attracted to a person. That helps differentiate between lust and love.
well being attracted to someone doesn't imply physical attraction to me - it's a reasonable interpretation, but it can also mean romantic interest
