Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker wonders aloud whether being a lesbian would simplify things, seemingly out of frustration with dating men. It could read as a half-joking, half-wistful complaint rather than a serious proposal about identity. The line captures a moment that might be exasperation, imagining an easier alternative to a difficult situation.
