I get what you’re saying, but I think it would take a combination of internalized homophobia and some type of moderate/sever mental illness for someone to convince themselves that having a feature here and there that is typically associated with the opposite sex makes them sexually inverted. I don’t think solely being internally homophobic is enough to get someone there, I don’t even know if I believe that being internally homophobic and dysphoric is enough to get someone to that thought process. Someone thinking that would likely have several sever mental health concerns that extend past dysphoria and internalized homophobia. That’s just my opinion, obviously. I’m not an expert lol

No, I fully agree with you about that. I think what you're saying is entirely likely, that there must be some X factor or je ne sais quoi that would give such extreme results. No expert here either, obviously, but it's a fun mystery! (well, as fun as a mystery about mental illness might be!)
