I'm straight. I was recently catfished by a gay man pretending to be a woman. It was one of the most violated I've felt in my life. I'm still so angry right now, I don't know how to process it.

I send voice memos when I can't text, and I found it weird that I never received one in response. I chalked it up to a different communication style. But things were getting serious so I said we should talk on the phone to come to a conclusion.

On the day we were to talk on the phone, I received a short 3 secs voice memo. It was interesting because I had never received one before. The voice was different from the voice in the videos, but there was noisy background noise so I wasn't certain. My Spidey sense started tingling. But I went along with it because I wanted to get to the bottom of it.

I believe it was a test to see whether I would notice, and when I went along with it, the person felt comfortable enough to get on the phone with me. When we finally got on the phone, it was plainly obvious the person on the other end was a gay dude. The audacity of this dude was amazing, continuing to act like a female, flirtatious, making future plans together. It was nauseating.

What are these people hoping to achieve? That by building an emotional connection with straight men, they can all of a sudden turn them gay? Even when it was disclosed in no uncertain terms at the start that my orientation is straight and non-negotiable?
