I asked a friend of mine what her take on the question was and this was her response: "Biology. Straight-up biology. In the likely event that being gay is a chemical thing, many lesbians have been shown to have higher levels of testosterone, or even develop hormone disorders later in life. It makes "looking like a boy" less a want and more a can't help it.
Additionally, many naturally effeminate lesbians are unsure of their culture. The stereotypes painted on gays can ensure someone with homosexual feelings might be scared "no one will believe them unless they look the [stereotype] part." So they change.
One theory would be yes, male/female is natural--it's how the human species reproduces, and we have yet to evolve past our basic biology insisting we continue to reproduce. If the body recognized that girl <3 girl, then possibly it'd want to change one of the girls to boy in a fight to reproduce, so "hi you can has more testosterone!"
Same goes for the trend of effeminate gay males--it's not the stereotype it seems, but it does happen that the hormones are just strange."
