A Simple Question...

[Avana]

It is associated with a private matter of fantasy and deception. It conveys weakness and betrayal of the masculine privilege. It assumes homosexuality which also betrays the masculine privilege.

I know I'm speaking simplistically and in very broad terms, but the simple answer just may be that our reptilian brains (unless otherwise enlightened) view non-conformative gender and sexuality behaviors as a threat to the propagation of our species. These behaviors have been taboo in most cultures for I don't know how long. Perhaps since the beginning.

that's not entirely true.

Maybe youre familiar with Indian Hijras:

Native american Berdaches/two spirits

Thai Kathoeys

and Eununchs in countless cultures in history

As far as the theory about 'reptilian' brains, I hope you're just stating what people generally believe and not that this is your opinion! The idea that men with feminine gender characteristics (not sex) are somehow less able to 'propagate' is just purely misogynistic! That kind of thinking dictates that survival of the species relies on masculine 'strength' and ability to provide. This is just silly, especially in 2011. And human sexes in general aren't even very different compared to many animals where the differences and genetic responsibilities of those animals are more clearly defined.
