What am I if I am straight and like trans guys?

At this point in my life, I have debated whether I am straight or bisexual, but for this scenario, I am going to call myself straight. So I met this guy a few days ago, and I thought he was really attractive. I then later figured out he was transgender, but that didn't change my thoughts on him at all. I know there is a different sexuality if you like boys, girls, and trans people, but does that apply if I am straight? I have looked it up a few times and I have't really found anything, is that because most/all straight people only like the opposite gender?

If you're female identitified and he's male identified then you are straight. Doesn't matter what's in their pants or past.

You can still identify with straight if that is what you are comfortable with.

The other sexual orientation you are thinking of is pansexual, where you feel attraction to people regardless of their gender identity.

But, I don't think anyone would argue with you if you still labeled yourself straight even though the person you currently have feelings for is trans. As the above poster said, he's identifying as male and you identify as female, and there's all that really needs to be to it. You don't have to go as far as defining either of your genitals if you don't want to.

Just label what feels the most comfortable to you. :)
