Somewhat but society views it differently when a person fails at getting a mate but another person just outright rejects it.

Again, an unmarried straight women, maybe a certain type of feminist may decide she doesn’t want to be in a relationship, and rejects it, by choice would fit your definition.

Yes true. Not sure what point you are trying to make lol...

That part is exactly why 2nd wave feminism took on a critical view of gender.

The compatibility of the "community" was based off gender nonconformity. Gay people are by definition gender nonconforming

Just that I don’t agree with the idea of gays as being non gender conforming by default. It seems like a stretching of the the definition of gender non conforming. Are married gays gender conforming?

I think it’s more about societal rules than gender rules, IMO.

Gender is literally sex based societal rules.
