"Or did it land on the side where Eric’s words rip open a gaping wound that never really heals? Where a lifetime of self-hatred, of shame, of insecurity and inadequacy bubbles over? Did it land on the side where the word “vagina” was used one too many times in a way—unintentionally of course—that made me infer that my masculinity is inadequate and that I would never legitimately be recognized in my community?"

Author needs to get to a therapist, a real one, not a back patting cheerleader.

Throughout junior high and high school, I consistently dated boys who eventually figured out they were gay and dumped me so they could instead date men. Rejection, being told my body isn’t desirable or legitimate enough for the men toward whom I’m attracted, has been part of my internal narrative for as long as I can remember.

She clearly has a tendency towards self-defeating behavior and can't bring herself to confront it. I think what we have here is a woman who was never conventionally attractive and, thus, ended up as a beard for gay men who weren't yet out. Her response was to attempt to transform herself -- apparently not very successfully -- into something they would find desirable, ignoring the obvious problems.

She could have dated STRAIGHT men but she has a fetish for gay men. She didn't care that straight men (which are the majority) were available. No it HAS to be gay men. Fag hag on roids.

No, I get her reasoning, warped as it is. She wasn't attractive to straight men, and she knew it. Closeted gay guys probably dated her because she seemed non-sexual to them or simply because she was available. They were the only ones who showed her any attention -- and for the wrong reasons. But she got hooked on that tiny bit of attention and reasoned that if she could be a man, gay guys would like her. The problem is, she's realized that most gay men aren't going to be any more attracted to her than straight men.

We live in a socially mediated world where people are constantly hyper-aware of their sex appeal, and if you don't have it, you're constantly reminded of it. Like others said above, she is deeply emotionally fucked-up.
