I'd like to start out by saying that I find people "coming out" as fake sexual orientations like "demisexual" or other B.S. like "genderqueer" annoying and harmful to our movement. I also want to say that it's not impossible that some people claiming to be bi could be faking it for woke points. Personally, I've never met someone like that but apparently some of you have. That's all anecdotal and I'm not going to claim they don't exist, but they don't seem to be very common, at least not nearly as common as closeted bisexuals. Bisexual people may use their sexuality to virtue-signal. However OSA (opposite-sex attraction)-leaning bisexuals do exist, and make up the majority of bisexuals, seeing as the majority of people are heterosexual. When you look at bisexuals' closet rate in the U.S. (more than twice as high as homosexuals), I don't think it's right to categorize these people as liars.

It doesn't seem like a big deal to say, "oh, she's not bi, she's only been with men so she's straight", and I understand where they're coming from. These people haven't shared in nearly as many struggles as gays and lesbians, or to a lesser extent non-OSA-leaning bisexuals have for their sexuality, but even if they're not out, they probably still feel self-loathing because of homophobia they witness and their own SSA. However, if this "straight" (bi) woman can be attracted to women, and maybe even end up in a relationship with one, and then perhaps end that relationship and end up with a man again, what are the implications for lesbians, especially lesbians who come out later in life, perhaps after dating exclusively men? This is why dating history is not an accurate measure of sexual orientation.

But on the other side of the coin, to say, "oh, she's not bi, she's only been with women so she's a lesbian and doesn't wanna admit it (not a view widely shared on this sub, but shared among the wider population)" is clearly a problem because this "lesbian" is also be attracted to men, fucking up the rigid definition of "lesbian" for all of them. This idea is easier to understand, because it's basically the TRA stance we're fighting against of, "attracted to women and "trans" women (feminine males)? lesbian."
