I really want to hear your thoughts on this, especially lesbians. She mentions the comphet essay, which I haven't read, but I have read the comphet masterdoc and it's a mess. However, it's important to keep in mind that for the majority of the time she believed she was a "gay trans man", she was on anti-depressants and not experiencing sexual arousal.

I can’t say anything about this specific case due to her young age and the anti-depressants she was on. Many comphet stuff I’ve come across though just reads like the woman is giving a long account of how sexually irresistible she finds men but not liking the power this gives men over her, and for some reason interpreting that as lesbianism.

There could perhaps exist extreme cases where a lesbian for some reason thinks it’s obligatory to have sex with men and thinks testosterone would make such horrible inevitability slightly less so. I don’t think this is common though. Most lesbian-identifying people who transition and start identifying as gay men just sound androphilic, often they admit having been attracted to men before transitioning, having been fans of yaoi/gay porn, and mention androphilic/AAP reasons for having identified as lesbians before (i.e it made them feel more like the men they are attracted to). I think most gender dysphoric homosexual females would rather be straight men than gay men (I don't see why a lesbian, i.e someone who isn't attracted to men, would find the latter better than the former).
