Referring to femme-presenting people as "traps" is transphobic, originating in the idea that trans women are somehow disingenuous by showing their true selves to the world. Because horny cis straight guys might get horny about trans women (and that's bad for some reason).
I think this can be the case, but I also think intent has to matter. I don't see any evidence that OP intends to be transphobic.
If I’ve offended you, I apologize. Certain words will affect people differently.
