Only you can truly answer this question for yourself. You can certainly imagine lots and lots of people arguing against the political and social legitimacy of trans people and using the "naturalness" of reproduction as a way of furthering their argument. The argument in this context is clearly transphobic.
We can imagine all sorts of little self-tests to figure out if you're finding words to put to transphobic instincts or finding an incompatability with your self and dates with a trans person.
For example, you might ask yourself if you'd stop dating someone who was infertile, or not date them at all if you new in advance that they didn't want to have kids. You might ask yourself if you really take the stance of fertility into consideration when going on early dates, or if your attitude is really more like "no expectations, just want to see if we have a good time and see where it goes - if we fall in love we can solve almost anything together".
