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.
