I think the problem is a little complicated because any term that there is for it, no matter how well intended, *will* be hijacked by transphobes and signalboosted 100x the original small well meaning portion of the people for whom the term applies.
If someone doesn't want to date black people, for instance (not many valid reasons for that, but maybe: racist family you're, unfortunately, dependent on, trauma that you're working through but not ready to put on someone else yet, etc.), no one's *forcing* them to go date a black person, but advertising yourself as unwilling to when no one asked raises a lot of pretty warranted questions about what you have against black people.
Similarly, I've never seen a situation where someone needed to advertise that they're not attracted to trans people. If you're hit on by someone, it's a simple "no," if your s.o. comes out to you, it's a private conversation between the two of you anyway.
There's nothing here!
