I, thankfully, don’t live in the U.S. but it makes me wonder as a trans man, would MAGA think I was just a lesbian or would he recognize my relationship as straight somehow ?

Because opting out of masculinity is a deep and fundamental insult to their entire world view, and being trans is kind of damaging to their whole essentialist ethos.
Yup, it absolutely crushes them to not only think that someone would actively reject masculinity, but it also can trigger some serious issues questioning their sexuality when they’re attracted to a transwoman. It’s kind of a “Hurt itself in its confusion” moment because their internal crisis could be fixed by just saying “Yeah, I like women and she is a woman” but instead have this deep sense of self-hatred because they’re attracted to “a guy”.
It’s also part of the reason they really don’t give a shit about transmen. It’s understandable they’d want to want to be a man, because of course they would, being a man is awesome! They don’t have to question their sexuality, because even if they’re super masc, they’re still a woman, so they’re definitely not even a little gay.
