Why is gatekeeping straightness even such an interesting topic people fixate over so much? Contrapoints "Are Traps Gay?" video provided some quite compelling answers to that question FWIW.
The universe started from a mysterious dot, we're apes in clothes, and one day we will all be dust. It seems weird af to devote so much energy to worrying about the rules of which genitals interlock with which.

Anyone who, unsolicitedly, provides some kind of blanket statement about what is and isn't gay from a position of assumed authority, is gay as hell and in denial.
So you're gay as hell?
I've heard it comes from WW2, there was big push of segrating women and men to push the ideal "if you're a man you'll fight for your country to protect your girl/mum back home". (Yes even though many of them were just kids).
Hence why many came home with severe trauma clinging onto the ideal of "Im a guy, I must do this" and being pushed to "show no emotion and no other guy is allowed to" training from the military that got passed onto their male children.
Leading to the 90s to view LGBT quite negatively particularly in some media in things people would say.
Real talk, traps are gay. But there is nothing wrong with that so chase what ever makes you happy (and is mutually consensual.)
