Yeah, I hate when they tell me that I'm a girl, not ALL guys are manly, I will never be manly
I'm really not sure why they do it but maybe they feel threatened, not that you will hurt them, but that they themselves might have secretly wondered if they are gay. In other words they are insecure with their own sexuality. That's how I have always interpreted it as. I really hate when certain guys do that tho... makes me as a woman want nothing to do with that individual(s).
Trust me, all the boys and some girls at my school make fun of people for being lesbian, gay, and bi and it's really rude. It's not uncommon for teenage boys to do these things but just try to ignore them, they are probably picking on you because they think you'd be an easy target to make fun of.
Because you react so nicely.
Hear me out. I despise bullying and I wish it didn't happen to anyone. I don't condone bullying of any sort. And I was bullied for years. But if I hadn't reacted the way I had back then and instead acted stronger, the bullying would have stopped much earlier. I eventually hit back by choking out one of my bullies, which suddenly made them all friendly and timid towards me.
Bullies don't really care about what you are. If you're gay, trans, straight, cis, black, white, smart, dumb... none of that matters to them. It's about what matters to you. They just want to find what is sensitive to you, and they'll use that knowledge to hurt you, because that's the only thing they want to do. So if you react by being hurt, in whatever form, that's a sort of positive feedback for them, since they're getting what they want.
Your bullies know this stuff bothers you, and that's why they're using it against you. And honestly, I think they're also jealous that you're popular with girls. But you should find a way to deal with it in your own way. That could be ignoring them, finding what's sensitive to them and insulting them back, whatever. But while the majority of the problem comes from their side, your "positive" reactions are also fueling the fire.

Just going to say that the majority of straight guys have no problem with gay guys. this isn't a "oh you're straight you must hate gays" sort of thing, and although I'm sure you didn't mean it like that that's what the title made me think at first.
I can't really say much that hasn't been said already. they're just bullies who are trying to make you upset, and this is the best way they can think to do it. just ignore them, they're scum and what they say means nothing.

this whole sentence doesn't sit right with me. Are you saying that most men hate gays? Because that's a blatant lie. And what do you mean "the way that they treat women?" are you implying that the majority of men treat women poorly? Because that's not true in the slightest.

And apparently you don't respect men. what's your point?
I live in constant fear that a gay man may want to just hang out for the day not because we're friends, but because he obviously wants to pound my butt.
Sarcasm.
Really?
Care to provide sources?
