I personally did this when I identified as a guy except I told my bisexual girlfriend to identify as straight to appease me. She slapped the shit out of me. 😂 and don't come at me for laughing... I think I deserved to be slapped for having the audacity to tell her wtf to do. 🤷‍♂️

When I dated a TIF, I was also a TIF, I already knew and openly identified as bisexual. My partner wanted me to identify as a gay man instead of bi, or just as a straight woman in case I didn't transition (I voiced her my concerns and doubts about transitioning, so desisting wasn't off the table).

She explained she had bad experiences with ex girlfriends claiming to be bi and them all turning out to be lesbians all along.

Although I identified as bisexual for some time before identifying as trans, it was at this point I was finally getting more comfortable with my attraction to women, so that hit me very hard but I didn't want to break up the relationship just because of that, so I just lied about liking men more to assure her I wouldn't cheat and get a girlfriend.

Chaz Bono did this to her wife before they divorced.
