Got a study or report for that?
The idea that trans women are at greater risk of sexual assault is a little weird to me. If they're visibly trans, wouldn't this be a deterrent, as males tend to have lower rates of sexual assault than females? I'd imagine a transphobic asshole preferring non-sexual assault.

for which one? that trans women are at higher risks of sexual assault? No - I was just repeating what a lot of trans people say. I can look though!

1. Man is attracted to trans woman, perceives her as a woman 2. Man acts on this attraction in some way 3. Man finds out trans woman is trans, assaults her because he feels "tricked" in some way. Initially not "visibly" trans, later is.

Good point. Also, I don't have hard data for this handy, but I think trans women are possibly more likely to end up in vulnerable positions (being poor/homeless for example), and that may lead to higher rates of assault

This. It's been used successfully as a defense in court.

Due to bigotry, trans women might find themselves in situations with higher risk of sexual assault. For example, trans women might be more likely to be sex workers.

I suspect that the small group of men that rape strangers tend to be opportunistic and would see trans women as an easy target

That is assuming that the motivation for assault is just ‘attraction’ when in fact it’s a violent act. You can’t make that assumption. That implies that rape is just because of men’s inability to control their sex drive, which seems fallacious.

I don't know of any studies off hand, but one obvious hypothetical would be that some fragile guys might get angry/violent when finding out that a girl they found attractive is trans and feel like they have to prove their manliness (and that they're totally NOT still attracted).
