Yeah I definitely agree, biphobia and plain ignorance about the bi experience is a big part. I feel like the loudest bisexuals are strongly OSA-leaning, so Kinsey 4s and 5s can’t relate at all and just call themselves gay and lesbian, and then proceed to assume actual gays and lesbians feel as “fluid” or “complex” as they do. Which is how you get nonsense like “I’m a lesbian and my boyfriend is my exception” or “I’m gay and attracted to both men and trans men” like in the linked article, and attacking gays and lesbians of gate keeping or bigotry when they’re told no, that’s not actually a homosexual experience.
