django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: can't adapt type 'User' only in Postgres

I have this really odd error that I can't seem to figure out. I have solved how to fix it but it could be a weird error for others so I am posting anyways.

I have this view function that allows users to invite team members to their team.

@login_required
def invite_team_member(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = forms.InviteTeamMemberForm(request.POST, team=request.user.profile.team)
        if form.is_valid():
            user = form.clean_username_or_email()
            try:
                models.TeamInvite.objects.create(from_user=request.user, to_user=user, team=request.user.profile.team)
                message = _("User successfully invited")
            except IntegrityError:
                message = _("This user has already been invited to your team")
            except ValidationError as e:
                if e.code == "team_full":
                    message = _("Your team is full, no further users can be invited")
                else:
                    raise e

            return render(
                request,
                "tracker/tracker_home/invite_team_member.html",
                {"invite_team_member_form": form, "message": message},
            )
    else:
        form = forms.InviteTeamMemberForm(team=request.user.profile.team)
    return render(request, "tracker/tracker_home/invite_team_member.html", {"invite_team_member_form": form})

Users enter a username or email into a form and the form determines whether it is valid to invite a user with that username or email.

class InviteTeamMemberForm(forms.Form):
    username_or_email = forms.CharField(label=_("Username or Email"))

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.team: models.Team = kwargs.pop("team")
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def clean_username_or_email(self):
        data = self.cleaned_data["username_or_email"]

        try:
            user = User.objects.get(Q(username__iexact=data) | Q(email__iexact=data))
            if user.profile.team == self.team:
                raise ValidationError(_("This user cannot be invited since they are already on this team"))
            return user
        except User.DoesNotExist:
            raise ValidationError(_("A user with that username or email doesn't exist."))

Now this is where it gets weird. This all works great with a Sqlite database but with Postgres, it throws this stacktrace.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: can't adapt type 'User'

I can't figure out if there something going on behind the scenes that I am missing. Stepping the through the code the database retrieves the user fine when executing user = User.objects.get(Q(username__iexact=data) | Q(email__iexact=data)) however when the user is returned to the view using form.clean_username_or_email() an error occurs. Again this only occurs with postgres, not sqlite.

If anyone has insight on what is going on here let me know. I'm guessing form.clean_username_or_email() is not meant to be called directly from a view function. Still odd this throws a database specific error.
