I'm not sure about the homophobic undertone, can you explain that a bit more? Oh hang on, I think the penny just dropped! You mean, a trans man (for example) doesn't feel he's a lesbian when he dates women?

You know how if no blockers are used, then 80-95% of gender questioning kids 'grow out of it'? Well the majority of those who grow out of it turn out to be gay. So the rush to use blockers is homophobic, in that its basically gay eugenics.
Also yes, internalized homophobia in transmen who are simply lesbian but feel more accepted as a straight man.
And also (a huge issue at the moment) the amount of 'lesbian' 'transwomen'. Straight males (with intact penises) who say they are lesbians. And yell 'transphobe' at any lesbian who says they don't shag male people. I actually thought this was just an internet phenomenon until I 'came out' as gender critical to friends...and every one of my lesbian friends said they had came up against this in real life, in the past year or so. Never before this, but very often recently.
