I knew a TIM married to a TIF once. These two talked incessantly about their sex life and said they were waiting for surgery to get advanced enough for them to switch genitals with each other. They both thought homosexuality was wrong and were opposed to gay rights. Another TIM I know is "bisexual" but has only ever dated women or TIFs. They are all different with different preferences like anyone else, just with a lot of confusing language to make it sound important.

There are a fair number of heterosexual couples out there in which each partner is trans. Like Grace Lavery and Daniel Lavery (Mallory Ortberg). But they don't believe that homosexuality is wrong. They are queer theorists who abhor heterosexuality coz it's too normative & conventional. They believe that being the bog standard het couple that they are isn't edgy & kewl enough to fit their unique personalities - and doesn't provide them with enough social currency & status, or earning power - so one of both of them has to declare a trans or other gender speshul identity. That way, they get admiration & plumb jobs. The Laverys in particular are gender grifters.

Boy are they going to be surprised when they find out their sex lives are completely ruined and they have a pair of horrible wounds instead.
