OP
Indeed, the question is one that has eluded weeaboos and internet shitposters from around the globe, but are traps truly gay? To answer that question, I turn to one of Sigmund Freud's writings reagarding the Theory of Sex, titled The Sexual Aberrations.


Regarding the Nature of Homosexuality and Special Conditions That Contribute to it
In this work, Freud discusses matters regarding inverts, which is how he referred to people who were gay or lesbian. Freud lived in different times from ours, so he may be forgiven for using such outdated terminology. In analyzing the behavior of inverts, Freud offers up the possible reason for inversion:

Some are occasionally inverted. Under certain conditions, chiefly when the normal sexual object is inaccessible, or through imitation, they are able to take the sexual object a person of the same sex and thus find sexual gratification.

So, in other words, there are people who are occasionally inverted, i.e. they only display homosexual behavior when either people of the opposite sex are unavailable and/or the sexual object of the same sex looks like one from the other sex. The former is probably more openly applicable to all of you, considering that you are all probably teenage losers with no girlfriend. In addition, Freud states imitation as a special condition for homosexuality, being able to look the part to become a sexual object (sound familiar?). This is explicitly stated as a case of homosexuality, so yes, according to Freud, traps are, indeed, gay.


Attraction by Imitation
Freud also goes into describe the sexual habits of early civilizations, such as the Greeks. He says:

Among the Greeks, where the most virile men were found among inverts, it is quite obvious that it was not the masculine character of the boy, which kindled the love of man, but it was his physical resemblance to woman as well as his femnine psychic qualities, such as shyness, demureness, and the need of instruction and help. As soon as the boy himself became a man, he ceased to be a sexual object for men and in turn became a lover of boys.

Excusing the outdated gender roles for a second, note how the Ancient Greeks used young boys as an example. Many modern traps in anime are, more often than not, young boys. Some actively dress like women, but some just generally look that way through no fault of their own. This connotates unfortunate implications indeed.

Freud also explains the nature of fetishes and how they arise in the section Unfit Substitutes for the Sexual Object. Fetichism. He describes fetishes as substitutes for sexual objects. In particular,


Fetishism and its Possible Contribution to Homosexuality in Special Cases

The substitute for the sexual object is generally a part of the body but little adapted for sexual purposes, such as the foot or hair or some inanimate object...which has some demonstrable relation to the sexual person...This substitute is not unjustly compared with the [fetish] in which the savage sees the embodiment of his[/her] god...

The case becomes pathological only when the striving for the [fetish] fixes itself beyond such determinations and takes the place of the normal sexual aim; or again, when the [fetish] disengages itself from the person concerned and itself becomes a sexual object.

So, considering that the desire for non-sexual objects (fetishes) in a sexual manner can surpass actual sexual desire itself, would it not be wrong to attribute a lust for traps with fetishes not related to the sexual organs? (Because, according to the above statement, no, you can't have a fetish for dicks.) Freud addresses the importance of secondary and tetriary sexual characteristics in homosexuality:

There is no doubt that a large number of male inverts have retained the psychic character of virility, that proportionately they show little of the secondary characteristics of the other sex, and that they look for real feminine psychic features in their sexual object. If that were not so, it would be incomprehensible why masculine prostitution, in offering itself to inverts, copies in all its exterior, today as in antiquity, the female dress and female behavior.

In other words, non-pathological fetishes (such as those for female clothing and body language) may explain why many of us here have an propensity to get attracted to traps. So, looking the part may explain a lot.


Conclusion
So, what have we learned today?

traps are gay, your fetish is weird, and you're a fucking pedo
