2. Yeah, sounds horrible. But I will note that it sounds not so dissimilar to most of my own experiences as a ciswoman. I had no experience of "female camaraderie" or non-sexual physical or emotional intimacy that I can recall until my late 20s. Maybe. With my very BDSM scene friend (I wasn't scene but liked the parties). I was in my late 30s before I ever became a "hugger',for example. Other than for sports, I would not touch people if I could avoid it. Unless I was attracted to them, of course... lol.

But at least I didn't (and don't) get the full on 'cold' treatment (as we used to call it - the "fuck off aura") from most other women. I don't see a solution to that, in all honesty.
