It's just a strawman because he has a middle school comprehension of gender dysphoria and doesn't think people are cool with the concept of not being gay after they transition.
Like the whole point of a person getting gender affirming surgery is that they were born with the wrong parts, so someone in this position likely identifies as a straight version of the opposite sex and not a gay version of their assigned sex well before surgery. But really who cares because just let people do what they want to do with their bodies without trying to debate them.
I mean, yeah, but the specific gotcha here is that he's using "sexuality is immutable" to apply to the label/construct (gay vs straight) rather than the internal experience of a person. it's middle school, and I'm sure his understanding of dysphoria is even worse, but I don't think it's a strawman, just galaxy brain.
