I haven't kept up with this thread much, but the theory from years ago was that Frank was always a closeted homosexual man. He probably married his first wife (a real woman) just to satisfy the expectations of his traditional/conservative Chinese parents. He ended up abusing his wife and even tried to blacklist her from the SFWA / science-fiction fandom (where she worked?) after she left him.
Frank later married "Brianna". This is likely a cope since he can still pretend to be straight, and there's also the bonus that Brianna is totally dependent on him. Although Brianna often seems to emasculate Frank on Twitter and frivolously spends his money, I wouldn't be surprised if Frank is abusive towards him in private. They're using each other, more or less.

Becky Gerber, a fellow Gamergate-era lolcow, recently called out Brianna as a clout-chaser & attention-whore. I thought it was funny.

To me, one of the funniest aspects of Brianna is that he still has a conservative streak in him. He
loves capitalism, and this has always been a friction point between him and other twitter leftists. I think they've always secretly seethed about his flaunted wealth & obviously exaggerated claims of victim-hood in the past, and it's become more and more intolerable to them since then. ESPECIALLY since he pretends to be cis, but he still inserts himself into LGBT+ drama all the time as a self-proclaimed expert & leader.
