Not sure what happened maybe it was posted on a trans forum or blog of some kind? I make gaming videos but they are aimed for everyone so its ok I just hope I don't say anything that will make some of my new audience uncomfortable.

Should I intentionally say things to cater towards them? Honestly they have all been positive in the comments but this is the first time I have been around so many trans people online talking to me.

I'm sorry for being a jerk. But I can't help myself.
If you don't have anything positive to say about other people, then shut up.

Well they have profile avatar pictures and when I click on their channels they have videos about them talking about trans issues and struggles before surgery etc along with a lot of videos on anime and gaming stuff they bought.

No, don't cater to them because they already seem to enjoy what you do. An attempt to intentionally cater to them risks alienating non-trans people and trans people who see it as shameless pandering.

This. If they're coming to your channel then they enjoy your content as it is now.

Dont pander. You can ask how some folks found your channel as a "survey" but enjoy it. Many many folks never see a random influx of viewers. Thats pretty neat.
