I guess many people think mettaton is trans because one, he used to be a ghost and all the people we know in the game that are or used to be ghosts (Dummy and Napstablook). The second reason could be because some characters refer to him as they/them, like Undyne in the date. But I guess since we didn't know anything about him back then, he was given "they" pronouns. But after we meet him and everyone saw that we met him and know who he is, nobody uses they/them pronouns as far as I know. In my opinion its kind of stereotypical to just assume that because of feminine looks that means the person is female. Pink is just a color. Guys can wear the stuff Mettaton wears. I think that's something this game intended, much like the other diverse themes it has.
