Trannies wanna be seen as a "girl" or a "guy" which is the opposite of what they are. They don't necessarily want to be shoeboxed as a "tranny".. So where's the happy medium here?

In order to make sense of who you should promote gay and transsexual content to, in my humble opinion, you should adopt the idea that gender is psychological and not biological. With this in mind, the following trends make sense.
Transsexual women are biologically male, BUT they're psychologically female. According to this train of thought a pre-op transsexual woman is simply a female with a penis. Because she is a female, heterosexual men will still find her sexually attractive.
Homosexual men, on the other hand, are psychologically and biologically male but their sexual proclivities are aimed toward other men. They will not see a pre/post-op transsexual as a male and there is a lesser likelihood of sexual attraction.
Simply put:
1) Transsexuals are considered to be their psychological gender... if that's female, then heterosexual men and even lesbians will be sexually attracted to them.
2) Homosexuals maintain a psychological gender that's the same as their biological gender, and they're sexually attracted to members of the same gender.
I hope I explained that in a non-confusing manner.
