I was kind of thinking the same thing.
Before I came out as trans, I identified as lesbian (I'm actually bisexual, it's all confusing. I'm confusing). And I encountered this stereotype a lot. I am attracted to men, but I do prefer women. And no, it has nothing to do with hating men or any past trauma.
The post said she hates their bodies. I'm not sure what is so... 'bad about saying that.
She's a lesbian. Of course she's going to hate seeing a man's body. The same way a straight woman would probably hate seeing another woman's body, right? I thought that's how it worked.
