I still can't believe how quickly straight people have taken up the idea that gay men should be attracted to women pretending to be men. Or that they should be attracted to someone of the same sex pretending to be of the opposite sex. Doesn't the idea bother them personally?

As a heterosexual male, I definitely find it horrendous that you have straight men shaming & trying to guilt lesbians into sleeping with them. I feel the same with women during the same to gay men. As far as the attempt into shaming & guilting straight people into being into "identities" & not sex, yeah, that ain't happening & they know it. Doesn't matter how much trans billionaires pour into this nonsense, it's not happening. The heterosexual men & women harassing the LGB community, is weird & strange to me as well. I sorta get the straight dudes larping as lesbians (classic predator behavior of getting off on making women uncomfortable), but the women shaming gay men into wanting vagina, I sorta don't get. Women don't have any problems getting a man & there are plenty of men more than willing to "take the vagina". So why force it on the group of men who's not interested & can't be? Narcissism? I honestly don't know.

I assume the testosterone use and crushing psychological need for external validation are factors here. As a heterosexual women, I don't 'get' the desire for gay men (or anal sex, for that matter). Yes, a lot of gay men are objectively attractive, but to me, gay guys are just an automatic 'no-go'. I can't even envision how that dynamic is supposed to work.

I guess a lot of these people (likely teenagers) are just immersed in a fantasy world of yaoi or whatever (I don't really follow manga and anime, but I'm aware it's a factor) and completely detached from reality.
