Does your gender and orientation aligns with what you read?

Out of pure curiosity. (▰˘◡˘▰) I got the feeling that for most people is not the case.
For me, I actually read BL because I see and feel represented by soft ukes (and omegas) their "feminine" coded qualities resonate with me in a way I haven't found anywhere else. Most content for gay men (the closest group I could belong to) tends to be hypermasculine and I can't connect with it.

    No, I kind of find it weird they might be feminine, but they’re still a man and I don’t really understand why a lot of women put themselves in the position of a twink…..

    Maybe it's because it's written mainly by female artists
