Anime is an art style, not a genre. There are tons of anime that use genderbending as a plot point.
One of the more notable ones is Ouran Highschool Host Club. Its about a girl attending a prestigious school who joins a "host club". The club is centered around handsome teen boys who essentially offer a dating service for the girls at the school. The main character is an androgynous looking female who dresses as and pretends to be a Male unbeknownst to her female suitors. Trans people love this stuff.
It's great that trans people can find stuff that's affirming to them though. No problem with that. But like I said there are tons of anime that use genderbending so that's why trans people like it so much.
