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).
