Is it tone deaf to think that a character representing the classic womanizer would be accepting of trans people?

Austin Powers is spoofing the on screen spy characters of the 60s, which attempted to appeal to a very much cis heterosexual fantasy, which generally would not include trans people.

    I saw Austin powers as a kid and i always thought he was gay, apparently no amount of him hitting on women made me question it, it just the way he appeared to me.
