If the comments are to be trusted,we are talking about a bunch of heterosexual and bisexual women.

Who, somehow, can't see themselves as women and still acknowledge their attraction to men. Isn't that what's going on here? Because it sure looks that way to me.

I suspect that, while the reasons for this vary-- fetishizing gay men, yes, but also things like sexual trauma and what TV Tropes has dubbed Het Is Ew-- there's one overarching theme: what we might call gynophobia. Both trying to escape it... and having internalized it so deeply that this means disowning the femaleness of one's body altogether :(

Autogynephobia? (I think I hear the Greek language screaming).

As a bisexual, women who wax on about this sort of thing just screams out "bisexual who followed trends" to me.

I was not immune to it myself, I won't lie. I had periods where I thought I was straight, and periods where I thought I was lesbian. In the end, I am bisexual. I was trying to figure myself out with the main sexualities that were known - gay or straight. I was trying to fit myself into one of those two boxes, and it turned out they were what was faking for me since bisexuality is real.

Thank god I didn't grow up with the gender identity bullshit thrown in. It has no place in this discussion at all.
