Because of the prevailing myths in the society that equate desiring men with 'female inside male,' the effeminate males (third genders) who like men conveniently confuse their femininity with their sexuality for men, since the former is not acknowledged by western society as 'scientific' or 'biological,' but the latter "sexuality for men" is recognized by the western society, albeit, as a disease or an anomaly.

For the effeminate male who likes men, his sexuality for men indeed flows from the female inside of him. For him the two, femininity and sexuality for men are inseparable. The society recognizes only his sexuality for men, and not his femininity. The femininity is supposed to be part of his sexuality for men.

The reason why the effeminate male that likes men, created a separate category of 'homosexual' was because he needed a separate male gender category to accomodate his femininity (which he confuses with his sexuality for men). However, the male with a strong male identity that likes men hates nothing in this world more than to break from the mainstream, men's identity, where manhood and men's spaces lie. The last thing he wants is to be broken from other men, and be categorized with the third genders. The effeminate male wants nothing more than to break off from the men's category and from manhood, and create a feminine space for himself, where he can really be himself 'homosexual.'

The effeminate male by creating a 'homosexual' category has sought to break any man who acknowledges his sexuality for men, to be broken from men and to be categorized along with the effeminates. While this greatly takes away the space for the masculine gendered, 'straight' identified male from liking other men, and thus breaks men from men and disempower them, the effeminate male as 'gay' is immensely and unduly empowered by this loss and persecution of men. He gets 'ownership' of the 'man who like men' trait (when it doesn't belong to him at all, since he is not a 'man' in the traditional sense of the term).

Since, the western society, ruled by anti-man forces, bent upon breaking men from men validated the self-definition of the effeminate male as
