It's true about homophobia being the reason, but I think that if there were no homophobia but everything else about our culture was the same, it would still be a problem. I've always been worried about showing too much affection to any of my friends, especially my male friends, and I was a girl (and still often seen as one) and afraid that people would think I had a crush on them because girls are supposed to have crushes on boys and vice versa. Even now, I get questions occasionally about whether me and one of my male friends are dating... just by hanging out with them. Shipping culture's "any two people who are close must be a couple" thing is mostly fine with me because they mostly don't treat real people that way... mostly. But I think ironically, normie non-shippers often do.

Well, yeah, that's because part of homophobia is heteronormativity. You were perceived as a girl, therefore have to watch your interactions around boys. Boys can interact with boys in certain ways and not be considered "gay" but cannot step outside those lines. Same for girls and girls, but different lines.
