Too funny. Happens all the time, especially lesbian women. I know 5 who used to be gay, 3 of them diehard, man haters. No religion involved. They “just got over it.” Some married now, with kids.
Men largely become gay due to grooming and molestation early. Heck, the Alter Boys are the farm team for gay priests. I’ve seen it happen, growing up in a catholic church.
Women, not so much grooming. Maybe molestation, but usually the father or close male relative. Some do it as a fad. Some are just nuts.

You’re pretty much on to it, really no comparison between men and women in this area. Women simply do it to PROVE that they are a true Feminist to the sisterhood, and that they can do JUST FINE, thank you, without men. Most women outgrow that thought pattern sometime around age 10, but a few carry it to adulthood...but even so, many still outgrow it later, as you said.
Guys - they’re simply messed up, typically by ‘trusted’ adults, as you said.
