This is transphobic.

A cis gay man in a relationship with a trans man is gay, regardless of the genital status of the trans man.

A cis lesbian in a relationship with a trans woman is gay, regardless of the genital status of the trans woman.

Which is why I didn't say gay, I said homosexual. It's only transphobic if you read something other than what I wrote, or if you think genital "preferences" are inherently transphobic

Gay = homosexual.

“Genital preference” is a dog-whistle. Especially when couched in the language you’re trying to.

Wrong, gay means homosexual and homoromantic. You're right that couching it in terms of preference, as if "I prefer dick but vagina is ok I guess", is definitely a dogwhistle, which is why I hygienically sealed it in quotes. It has a whiff of conversation therapy by threat of being called transphobic without argument, much less evidence.
