 and there's an added bonus of always having something in common. However, when cis people specifically want to date trans people, there's no reason other than fetishization. If you have a really good reason as to why you, a cis person, wants to date trans people, that's fine. However, I honestly cannot think of any besides fetishization. No cis person is dating trans people because it's a matter of safety or because they have something in common with each and every trans person.
