Heterosexuality (which cannot be divorced from political ideology) is responsible for this mess.

So all the members of sexually-reproducing plant and animal species that have engaged in, do engage in, and will engage in mating behaviors with members of their species of the opposite sex are doing so due to political ideology?

If a woman wants someone to be intimate with, sexually and romantically, there are other women who'd consent to be with her. And the exact same can be said with men. Men are told they should be with women, because of the patriarchal constructs called marriage, natalism, and fatherhood/motherhood.

This makes me wonder how old you are and how much life experience you've had.

Sex drive is instinctual, and sexual orientation is innate. Human males who sexually desire human females don't do so coz they "are told they should" and due to other conventions. Otherwise there would be no gay people. Lesbians are female people who are exclusively attracted to other female people.

My understanding of "political lesbianism" is that it describes bisexual women who've chosen not to have sex with men for political reasons.

If a woman wants someone to be intimate with, sexually and romantically, there are other women who'd consent to be with her.

Regardless of sexual orientation, most women with any self-respect are not interested in partners "who'd consent to be with" us. We are interested in partners that we feel attraction and lust towards. Moreover, most women with healthy self-esteem aim for partners who are enthusiastically into us, not just anyone who merely would "consent to be with" us.

I wanted to say, if you claim sexuality isn't a choice, what exactly are you saying isn't a choice? Are you saying that having sex with people of a certain sex, or both sexes, isn't a choice? Wouldn't that make such instances rape? Are you saying that masturbating to erotica featuring a certain sex, or both sexes, isn't a choice? Is someone forcing you to jack your dick or finger your pussy, holding you hostage as their sexual abuse victim? Are you saying that having sexual fantasies involving people of a certain sex, or both sexes, isn't a choice? Has someone hacked into your mind, controlling your thoughts? Last I checked, such technology hasn't been invented yet (way, way too advanced).

You are confusing sexual orientation with libido/sex drive, and then to add further confusion you're mixing both of those up with specific sex acts.

As for all your sentences that start out

Are you saying

Then proceed to make one ridiculous statement after another: No one is saying any of that nonsense except you.

Animal species engage in opposite-sex intercourse as a means of reproduction, or, as a means of sensual pleasure. Let's say that an animal possesses no knowledge that their activities with another of a different sex will result in pregnancy, and, thus, the continuation of that animal's bloodline. Therefore, they are doing it exclusively for sensual, hedonistic pleasure, and don't care about procreation whatsoever. Additionally, they don't do it with an animal of the same sex because, of course, they don't believe in pregnancy. They have no clue it exists. As there are animals who willingly refrain from sex, I would say it is due to political ideology, that such mating occurs. They objectively, the animal, consider such actions to be of a positive nature.

I don't understand what makes these women bisexual when they've chosen to identify as lesbians, live only with a woman/women, and gravitate toward sexual situations and media featuring women and lesbians.

Yes, I'm aware that romantic relationships should actually be fulfilling. That doesn't relate to what I've been saying.
