Thank you for saying I have a right to an opinion, a lot of people don't think that. I appreciate the respect, you obviously have that same right and can take or leave anything I say.

I have to ask, did I touch a nerve by accusing OP of being a bisexual in denial?

Obviously! You know you did! Acting like being bisexual is some ugly dirty secret that you've caught a usurper engaging in is offensive to say the least. Dumping disapprobation on someone because you think you've sniffed out a bisexual is abusive behavior. You don't get to define other people or order them to accept an unwanted identity. This is directly contributing to a problem you want to rectify- bisexuals pretending to be gay.

People don't remember what you say, they remember how you made them feel. That guy's deeper in the closet now!

You would absolutely lose your top if someone accused you of being a bisexual in denial, and I've gotten the impression that other lesbians sometimes do just by your fixation on the topic. This is where my empathy comment came from. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Write a comment that you could take reading about yourself.

Literally another bisexual on here said OP is most likely a closet bi. Why is this an issue for you? There's nothing wrong with being bi, and OP might not be aware of their biases as a result of being bi (not understanding/empathizing with monosexuals).

I'm sick of being told I'm ignorant about a problem I'm well aware exists. I get it that there's a problem. You seem to think I'm disputing whether the OP on the other thread is bisexual, he appears to be, but he's also a stranger on the internet who is text on a screen.

You catch more flies with honey and attacking people gets you nowhere and exacerbates the problem. That's my point. Anger just drives people away, you have to make your point and let him figure out his end of the deal.

I also think it's ridiculous to heap vitriol on someone who's coming out of systematic brainwashing during their formative years and expecting them to instinctively understand the taboos of feminist lesbians. That conversation was an embarrassment to all of you.
