One wonders how you (or Kopp?) saw this so many times.

It doesn't just happen to boys. It happens to young girls as well. And no, it's not men who do the pursuing.

I worked with a woman for a time who was blatent about lesbianism. She was very militant, rude, crude and drank Scotch by the fifthe. One day I came to work fairly dressed up as I had been to a funeral and I got a long, slow perusal from my toes to my head and back down. I have never had the creeps like that in my life. And I never allowed myself to be alone in a room with her again.

This is not at all uncommon and if you express any sort of disgust at the thought your reputation gets smurched.

I don't get the whole so-called lesbian attraction thing. I mean, they say, "but we're attracted to women, not men" yet they pick women who look for the world like men and they have sex with them using fake penises. So you have two women who look like two men but relate to each other as members of the opposite sex using fake male penises to provide physical pleasure. Minus the boobs, they're men. If that's not mental illness then nothing is.

I had a similar experience when I was in college. I was working a part-time research job at a VA hospital and had to go to medical records on a regular basis. There was a strange looking creature who worked in that department. I believe she was female. One day I was pulling charts and she walked by me and meowed. I froze and was so repulsed I took the charts I had collected and immediately left. I was very careful from that time on whenever I had to go there.

And I would never be mistaken for a man either.
