Based on some research I've done just about all points to the fact that almost all of the men that are interested in transsexual women are heterosexual men. The vast majority of gay men have no interest in transsexuals.
Following is a quote from, The Psychology of Human Sexuality
Dr. Justin J. Lehmiller - Social Psychologist & Sex Columnist
"The technical term for men who are attracted to feminized men is gynandromorphophilia1 (how’s that for a tongue twister?). When I say that these guys are into "feminized" men, I do not mean they are attracted to effeminate males or guys who simply display feminine behaviors--whan I mean is that they are attracted to men who physically possess both male and female characteristics. Thus, the sexual interests of gynandromorphophiles may include either pre- or post-operative male-to-female transsexuals or male cross-dressers. Although men with such interests are usually stereotyped as being gay, that could not be further from the truth. In fact, research has found that the vast majority (73%) of men who have sex with male-to-female transsexuals identify as straight or bisexual.2 Likewise, persons who run transsexual porn sites have reported that most of their clients are straight men and that they have next to no gay audience at all.3"

Though I have not been with a transsexual woman it is high on my bucket list.
