People think "queer" is a safe, cool identity, not associated with negative stereotypes of bisexuality, but highly associated with oppression points.

That's certainly true. I've been thinking for a while that declaring yourself queer is some sort of performative piety to let straight people know you're obedient.

The thing I'm not understanding is the harm part. I can definitely get how this situation is annoying to homosexuals, irritating. Harmful? What's happening to them because of this? I associate the word harm with things like violence and poverty.

(Also to answer your question earlier, I know nothing about archiving)

The harm is all the hard caused by gender/trans ideology, because these "Woque Kweers®" (bisexuals) are the primary drivers behind it. One would have to be bisexual to believe in it 100%. This ideology leads to the "transitioning" (sterilization, loss of sexual function, and early death by cancer) of kids and adults. Same-sex attraction alone is enough to get a diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria. This short video explains the way Gender Dysphoria is defined in the DSM and how it's harmful to gays and lesbians (as well as bisexuals, but them especially):

If the definition of "lesbian" is no longer "woman exclusively attracted to other women", then lesbian rights mean nothing. Same for gay. This essay by Orwell explains the harm in muddying the definitions of words:

That's scapegoating. It has to be said. Bisexuals identifying as queer are not the main drivers of young lesbians transitioning and the muddying of the definition of lesbian does not affect legal protections for sexual orientation.

Bisexuals identifying as queer are not the main drivers of young lesbians transitioning

I didn't say that. I said bisexuals are the primary drivers of gender ideology. Gender ideology is a driver of young lesbians transitioning. Gender ideology draws mostly from Queer Theory, which asserts that rigid sexual orientations do not exist and are 100% socially constructed. In other words, everyone is bisexual. Only a bisexual person with little empathy for monosexuals can believe this.

Confused/ashamed bisexuals make up the army of useful idiots for gender/trans ideology.

A bisexual with eyes of her own can believe this. I think that that is convoluted scapegoating. Bisexuals who are caught up in the same wave of homophobia are not the agents directing its movement.

I didn't say they were agents directing the movement. I said:

Confused/ashamed bisexuals make up the army of useful idiots for gender/trans ideology.

They aren't malicious agents, but they're eating up the propaganda and perpetuating an ideology that is harmful to the whole LGB.

edit: To add: in what world is a useful idiot a directing agent?
