The controversy began when restaurant owners Darwell and Nettie Mechelle Yeager posted a video promoting a limited-time discount for “real couples only”—explicitly excluding same-sex couples and trans people. “Cause we don’t do the trans or the lesbians or gays,” Nettie said in the now-deleted clip. The duo emphasized that only “couples who can produce a child” were eligible for the special.

Republicans are just so weird. Why on earth would you make "Can the people at this table conceive a child with one another?" the criterion for whether you'll sell someone a burger? Their psychological issues just leak into all aspects of their lives.

So a trans man and trans woman show up to this restaurant. Are they served? (Rhetorocal philosophical question)

Probably, because "we can always tell" was always a lie.

How about a cis-women and a cis-men who got snipped?
