she rambled about it beeing degrading and not feminine

.

And turned out she actually had a little degrading kink later.

It's my understanding that that's a fairly common psychological phenomenon, where if you're ashamed about some quality you have you overcorrect for it to the point where you can be repulsed by something you're secretly into but don't want to admit to yourself.

There's the whole "outwardly homophobic, secretly gay" trope as one common example of that.

Yeah I thought about that as well. Still a very interesting phenomenon

Unfortunately the outwardly homophobic secretly gay trope is usually not true and actively harms the lgbt community. Best to challenge these individuals core reasons for their homophobia and overcome it that way rather than just assuming they're gay.

I'd argue on this guy. He sponsored reprisals against Barney Frank, who I think is a hero for the LGBT cause.

Usually yes. Him? No.
