So many women use that master doc along with "comp het" to justify why they were always lesbians all along, just like the woman in the post linked ^ is doing with justifying why she thinks she was always a gay man. I think the master doc is a beacon to women who have issues with men, straight men in particular. I guess the idea of being a lesbian but still being able to fancy unavailable men feels safe to a lot of these women.

I think the few women I've seen online speak about going from lesbian (but are actually bisexual or even straight) to gay trans man use both identities as shields from dealing with their issues around straight men. It's just that I guess over time they've figured that being a gay trans man allows them to openly fancy men and even act on those attractions when they are ready - act on it with ''safe'' men, of course - and that's better for them in the long run.
