I don't understand this sentence, do you?

I need that word to read differently in any text it would be luck enough to be written about.

Did he mean

I need that word to read differently in any text it would be luck enough to be mentioned in.
I need that word to read differently in any text luck enough to mentioned.

Yet I still don't understand 'read differently'

He later says

The only way that our species can come into existence is through the portal of a woman's body.

Would you say it is natural to say 'through the portal of a woman's body.'? Is this whole sentence correct?

Thanks

He says:

I needed that word to read differently in any text that it would ever be lucky enough to be written about.

The sentence has come out slightly garbled. From the context, I believe he is just saying that he needed the word to stand out (i.e. be distinctive) in any text in which it appeared.

The other sentence is grammatically correct English.
