I think you'd be pretty hard-pressed to find one person who says that any man dating a trans man is exclusively gay. If someone is going to call a gay man straight because he's dating a trans man (read: female), they're also going to call a heterosexual man straight because he's dating a trans man. This person is conflating two different people into one person and calling it a gotcha.

Yea it's basically both gay men and straight men saying "a man who is sexually attracted to a female who has androgenized her body through taking exogenous testosterone has a different sexual orientation than me." Both are claiming "not mine" with respect to any man interested in her while both are reacting to different things that make her fall outside of their sexual orientation. It's more like she was within straight men's sexual orientation and then did things to her body that would make at least the vast majority of straight men no longer sexually attracted to her. It didn't gain her admission to gay men's sexual orientation. She just gained admission to the sexual orientation of men who are attracted to females who have androgenized their bodies.

And let's be real, she does look straight out of the uncanny valley. Her appearance is jarring.
