Yes, the whole "fluid sexual spectrum thing" has indeed been harmful to lesbians of recent generations. Just as were previous iterations of the same lesbophobia ("it's just a phase, she'll grow out of it;" "all she needs is a good shag;" "she just hasn't met the right man yet") for previous generations.

Also, my respect for lesbians and awareness of the myriad extra difficulties lesbians face is one of the reasons I as a (mostly) heterosexual woman believe women such as myself (who are mainly het with a sprinkling of bi) should never pursue the crushes we get on lesbians.

As an older ally, I just want to say how sorry I am for the cultural climate of today that is so inhospitable to, and abusive of, lesbians. Best wishes to you - and sorry for my being short with you on those other threads you started!
