It seems I have a lot of guilt over being a bottom and for being attracted to masculine men. Is that internalized homophobia or something else??

I mean, only you can determine for sure what you feel and why, but it does sound like it could be internalized homophobia and also internalized ideas about your own masculinity - there’s this cultural narrative (even in gay/lesbian spaces) that masculine = top = attracted to femininity, which is unhealthy and unhelpful a lot of the time. Being a bottom or attracted to masculinity doesn’t make you any less masculine, but sometimes it can feel that way because of cultural gender roles
