It's not so weird, it's just that right-wingers have no imagination, and so many of their smears are of the I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I variety. (ETA: See also, the "Joe Biden has dementia" thing.) The "Michelle Obama is a man" thing came about because a lot of people used to joke that Ann Coulter is a trans-woman because of her prominent Adam's apple. (Which she really does have.)
I'm pretty sure they were just being homophobic.
They certainly were, and it's possible the Michelle Obama thing came from nowhere, but it came about so soon after the Ann Coulter thing, I think it was reaction. Especially since right-wing talking points have so often echoed criticism and jokes about them.
