Fanbase
Fans of transsexual pornography typically identify themselves as straight. Shemale porn has become one of the largest, most popular genres of porn among heterosexual males. It may be that the attraction is based on the contemporaneous presentation of stereotypical anatomical cues of femininity along with the visual trigger of a penis, often a very large penis.
Perception
Some people view transsexual porn as gay porn. Although transsexual porn is a popular category, some in the LGBT community feel it objectifies transgender people.
