I had to look this up because I wasn't aware of it. It seems the creators themselves have refuted this and said that it was a journalist twisting their answers.
'It's not something that I want to come out and rebut. Like, yes, it's a trans allegory — it was made by two closeted trans women, how can it not be?! But the way that they put that question in front of my answer, it seems like I’m coming out emphatically saying, “Oh yeah, we were thinking about it the whole time.”'
I have to say, thats like someone saying anything I write is an allegory for my career (military). It may be informed by it, but its not an allegory beyond the fact that it shaped me.
IDK, it doesn’t take it away from what happened with the sequels and the fourth disaster at all that both brothers both happened to announce they are transgender. It’s really an amazing coincidence, two brothers, crazy.
You have made a lot of incorrect assumptions. Like, almost all of them. Plus, as “a gay” I think it’s offensive you have confused our sexual preference with, an identity and then also conflated transgender to that. Sort of a mask off moment for you maybe?

That's a bit overly reductive of their answer:
