Personally I think, from myself, that there could be some link between muscular women and trans women in terms that attraction could evolve from muscular to trans women
There might be but for me it’s a no. Even some of the most juiced up girls still look like women to me. There are girls like Paige Dumars or Anastasia Korableva that push it and for me once they start acting as masculine as men it’s a turn off. Roid girls still have more narrow bone structure, wider hips, (hopefully for me) no facial hair and move more feminine. Of the trans women I have seen, none of them really look like biological women to me.
In my opinion there is no correlation between a muscular woman and a trans woman. They have two different aspects. The first has a masculine appearance, the second wants to have a feminine appearance.
I think it's a very fair question.
As someone who is into both, I discovered my love of each along completely separate paths and at different times in my life. In my mind, the discovery of these kinks happened as unique events.
But perhaps just having a fascination with the clashing of gender norms meant that enjoying one made me inherently sensitive to the other. Having already accepted that I enjoyed masculinization of females, perhaps that made it just as easy to accept my interest in the feminization of males. So I definitely won't deny there is probably some subtle overlap.
Nature is done of degrees and nuances, and even the "kinds" someone talks about as paradigmas, are done of arbitrarily borders any individual put in a continuum to survive. The proof is the plurality of answers over there and the full spectrum of sensibility that shows how we are in a continuum, and even if this words scares some people to death it shows how talking binary is today a complete nonsense. After all, there is out there maybe the 95% of "normal" people ready to swear that a man who likes a woman with muscles (even without roids) shows some degree of homosexuality.

Do you have anything to back this up? A valid study perhaps? Otherwise, it's pure nonsense...
" talking binary is today a complete nonsense" then "95% of "normal" people"...
Isn't that a bit "Binary" around the borders ?
"associates female muscle attraction with homosexuality" so muscles = masculinity ?
Looks pretty "Binary" to me...
I have respect for everyone, a man is a man, a woman is a woman, and a trans is a trans.
And I have a big study to back this up, its called BIOLOGY
What concerns social constructions is another subject...

A valid study of what? You can just check comments on muscle girls profiles on instagram. I agree with you. A male is a male. A female is a female. And yes, gender is a social construction. Recent biology says that sex itself genetically is a spectrum, not a binary option. And yes, full majority of people out there are convinced that muscles=masculinity.
I'll avoid unnecessary word salads to be crystal clear.
Sex is a concept that describes what gametes an individual makes. In higher eukaryotes (ie. mammals), which includes us humans, there are only 2 kinds of gametes - sperm and egg. Failure to fully produce either or does not change the definition of sex.
No human produces both because your reproductive system is committed to either that of a male or female depending on testosterone levels produced by cells called Leydig cells.
If you're biologically male or have a working SRY gene copy in your X chromosome (or elsewhere) due to an error in crossover during meiosis, you're destined to be male.
The absence of a working SRY gene destines the reproductive system to develop into that of a female.
Again, failure to fully develop into either or does not change the definition of sex.
Can we induce spermatogenesis in lab in totipotent cells? Yes we can. Does this make sex non-binary? No since again, there are only 2 kinds of cells that are gametes, sperm and egg.
Having concluded the biology class, there are continuums as well as binaries in reality and both coexist. Picking a side is ignorant at best / disingenuous at worse.
Gender is a completely different topic and, since it's primarily a social construct, it's pointless to prescribe natural laws to it. It only matters to those who care about it.
And finally, is there a correlation between liking transwomen and muscular women? Probably. Is it ONLY because someone is androsexual? Probably not. Does it matter? Probably not. Is it an interesting question? Yes. Can we talk about it without using empirically wrong statements? Hopefully.
Judging by body types and secondary sexual characteristics (whether natural, brought on by PED use, or through cosmetic enhancements), there seems to be a lot of overlap, at least to me.
