I'm not sure I'd even call this binary thinking. It's just a fundamental misunderstanding of how the world works.

If some straight guy gets a boner from looking at a trans woman and thinks that he's now gay or bi or something, he should go have sex with a man. I think he'll be able to figure out the difference very quickly.

And yet, he's less straight than he previously imagined he was. You are taking a binary perspective that doesn't allow that.

How so?

If you believe that all straight people are equally straight, then there is no way I can possibly get you to see "how so". Kinsey et al might have something to say about that, though.
