my guess is that she was probably a straight tomboy girl, and got comments assuming she was a lesbian for her tomboyishness, which is where the bonkers comment about envisioning herself as a straight man or feeling pressured to be a straight man comes from. she probably also feels guilty about being attracted to guys as a tomboy because boys growing up only like the feminine girls and sometimes even bully the tomboys. so instead of going to therapy she's done all sorts of mental gymnastics to convince herself she's a gay man, but knows deep down she's just a straight girl, which is why she feels like not a real man. QED.
