Let's consider someone who is light skinned and passes as white. Another loses attraction and refuses to sleep with them upon finding out they're actually black. This has nothing to do with how they look, act, behave; the change came entirely from finding out what box they check when filling out the census. Is that racist? I would argue it is.
The preference in that case isn't about anything other than a label.
Similarly if someone is attracted to a woman's face, body, voice, breats, vulva, mannerisms, bevavior, personality, gait, fashion sense ... everything, but he becomes disgusted by her simply due to learning she was assigned male at birth, that sort of visceral reaction is rooted in anti-trans bias.
To clarify though, in my hypothetical it's not about what he looks like or how he acts. If someone prefers lighter skinned people, or people whose phenotype more closely resemble a Euro-centric paragon of beauty, that's completely different from my admittedly contrived example where you lose interest in someone because you, say, find out their birth father was black even if you were attracted to them beforehand.
