My mum says the same kind of things, but she has read queer theory, which is very different to trans activist ideology. "transgender" isn't an identity per se, it's just how you refer to someone who is wearing the clothes of the opposite sex. This is also how older people use the term. It's like a synonym for gender-bending, or something like that. It's why John Barrowman called himself "the transgender TARDIS", when wearing a TARDIS dress, which trans activists got annoyed about, probably because they're all young & they've never read any queer theory.

Calling them a gay couple is a little weird though.

Stories that act as a much better metaphors for modern transgenderism are Don Quixote for transgender males & Pinocchio for transgender females.
