i think lots of people think "gay" means male gay, because people often say "gay and lesbian", etc, even the acronym itself includes them both separately.
Gay has a lot of contextual meanings, either an umbrella term for queer people, people who like people of the same gender or men who are attractive to men. I think a big reason gay is associated mainly with gay men is that for a lot of history gay men were the only visible version of queerness since they were relitively privilaged compaired to gay women or bis.
It might also have to do with lesbian being a clarifier for the subtype of gay person a woman is where men do not have a clarifier beyond the umbrella term.
I wasn't good-looking before transition. I didn't expect to be good-looking after transition. But I felt I could cope with not being good-looking much better as a girl
