Her comments on another post:

I was introduced to yaoi at a young age and obsessing with reading/writing it for nearly a decade helped me understand that I’m a trans gay guy too.. of course fujoshis are gross fetishizing people and the community is rotten to the core with many problems (don’t even get me started on the dehumanization of omegaverse mlm) but yaoi in itself is just a genre with some pretty good content on a side, and junk on the other. Like every other genre. It’s a big part of what my journey to be even fair and I feel a bit invalidated to read this ;-; no offense. As though I’m pretending to be gay transmasc just to project that yaoi shit or whatever. (I also 100% agree with OP on bottoming transmasc etc fetishizing. It’s everywhere and it’s gross!) Edit: I didn’t mean you make me feel invalidated, that part was aimed towards the person who said women shouldn’t read yaoi! I couldn’t access their comment. Sorry for the confusion!!

I wouldn't necessarily say that she is fetishizing gay relationships via yaoi. It's entirely possible that she genuinely relates to the men in these stories in some fashion and has misunderstood this as being mentally a man herself. Perhaps she has a lack of female role models or the role models she does have leave much to be desired. This is a bit embarrassing, but I too was into yaoi at one time, and still favor ships that involve men. You would expect from this information that I would be either heterosexual or bisexual, but actually I have no interest in men and am likely either asexual or a lesbian.

Im the same way. The reason i ship male guys in fiction is because i dont like how the female characters are written and i have the mentality that the men i liked didnt deserve them. I dont ship real men with other men or anyone actually
