This also begs the question of, “what do we call males who are only attracted to males and females who are only attracted to females?”

Uh, the answer is obviously TERF! /s

But seriously, we used to have words for that, but language has been muddied beyond all reason. Bi means more than two, gay means you like men and women with a poorly sculpted arm skin inedible sausage in their pants, and lesbian can mean a woman who is otherwise straight, but like the idea of kissing a chick maybe someday (never).

Sometimes they will go as far as saying the word homosexual means attracted to same gender

I'm honestly wondering how long this shit will go on. Maybe when it becomes clear that the TQ crowd aren't going to stop even when their goals are reached, and they'll keep seeing what else they can get away with.

This is what chaps my ass most about people claiming allowing transwomen to call themselves lesbians and transmen call themselves gay men is “inclusive.” No, it just makes the words gay and lesbian lose meaning and deprives gays and lesbians of language to describe ourselves. It isn’t inclusive. It excludes gays and lesbians from our own sexual orientation.

The whole point of sexuality is the exclusivity, even in bisexuality. If you're not attracted to someone, you can't force yourself to 'check your sexual preferences'. There's no changing orientation.
