Porn websites (which are almost all owned and operated by one large conglomerate corporation) perpetuates that approach / attitude / terminology / culture, by using the term "trap" as titles / tags / labels on porn in which transgender people -- especially transgender women -- feature.

The phenomenon is simply Objectification / Fetishisation.

When women are Objectified and Fetishised, people who participate in that culture are more likely to use violence against women. That's true for cisgender women and transgender women.

There's a large "machismo" patriarchal culture that considers women to be property of men, and considers homosexuality to be worthy of execution, and considers trans women to be simply homosexual men.

There's plenty of people in those cultures who have attraction to trans women -- but who cannot express that openly or publicly.

So they objectify and fetishise trans women in private, via pornography -- without meaningfully interacting with us.

In my opinion, all pornography (as opposed to erotica!) is abnormal, because all pornography perpetuates a culture of objectification, fetishisation, and violence against women. When those abnormal characteristics are comorbid with someone's routine sexual life, they become habitual, and that produces habitual dysfunction.

I did mention as opposed to erotica -- there are cultures that produce erotica that brings human beings together and promotes treating people as human beings with moral autonomy and promotes free human sexual expression.
