It doesn't matter. It's all shit.
The writers said it was.

No. Episode was written and before it aired, to generate buzz, the creators/team slapped an unrelated subtext to an otherwise mediocre episode.
Whether or not they thought it would gain positive or negative buzz is a mystery to me.

The writers said it wasn't but marketing staff presented it as if it was.

producer said it was, writer said it wasn't

If this was the premise of an episode of season 2 of the original show, no one would call it a trans metaphor anymore than Olive the Other Reindeer is a Trans metaphor.

They said it was before the episode aired, then retracted that statement after trans people took offense to it. It doesn't matter who said what more than when they said what. They would have been perfectly willing to ride the train but their target market for angry so they said it wasn't to save face.

yeah, but no one publicly said Season 2 TOS episodes were trans metaphors
