Are a lot of cis women grossed out by vaginas? (hexbear.net)

I’ve run across cis women making comments like this way too many times for it to not be A Thing. Usually it’s a reason given for them not being a lesbian. Something like, “I love boobs but vaginas are gross”. I’ve also seen it as a reason to not date trans men, but I feel like there’s something going on beyond standard genital preference discourse and the transphobia attached to that. Can someone explain this or am I just being weird?

Unexamined internalized misogyny most likely. It's just repeating the hegemonic idea without awareness that they are just repeating what men say
