Uhh, might just be me, but I don't think that Fweakin actually literally meant that guys wanted to magically switch genders and then 'become lesbian'.
This is much the same in that not all yaoi-loving fangirls are illiterate, raving lunatics. My understanding is that that comment was more about the concept behind the stereotypical, fanboy/girl mentality than anything else.

Agreed. I've seen more than a few yuri fans who are very much holier-than-thou when it comes to extolling the virtues of their genre, and then going on to rave about how 'revolting' yaoi is. I find it rather hypocritical that these are some of the same people who complain about others being too close-minded to enjoy yuri.
Ultimately there are going to be close-minded fangirl/boys of both genres who contribute negatively to the fanbase. Personally, I'm of the opinion if you don't like; don't watch it, and quit annoying the people who do.
