I don't call myself a lesbian as a bisexual woman... because... I'm not 😂 loving dick/having dick are pretty much the main disqualifiers. Opps must have had my TERF-OS this morning 💩

I'm so baffled by bisexual women who call themselves lesbians. What's the point? I can get being confused, but staying confused...

Well, I can think of two understandable (if unfortunate) explanations for this phenomenon:

  • Having bought the standard there's-no-such-thing-as-bisexuality line, they assume that they must BE lesbians. Yes, even if they're aware of being opposite-sex-attracted too. Either they're more into women and "round themselves up" to lesbian, or they figure that it's a one-drop-rule sorta situation-- if a woman is attracted to her own sex at ALL, she obviously can't be straight, and therefore must be gay. Yeah, it's pretty dumb, but then again, so is the common wisdom that bisexuality doesn't exist.
  • They feel that there's a moral obligation to "stand up and be counted" as lesbian; that, if they call themselves bisexual, it's somehow cowardice-- taking the easy way out, and depriving lesbians of numbers that they (as a vulnerable minority group) need. Kind of like calling yourself black instead of white when you're of mixed-race ancestry. This probably has a lot to do with the widespread perception that bisexuals enjoy "heterosexual privilege". So there's both shame/guilt and a sense of duty involved. I know; I used to feel this way myself (though fortunately I never went so far as to act on it). Misguided, for sure, but at least the intentions here are good.

That's definitely what I was taught when I was younger by the straight people around me. The gay community has no influence over the greater culture (as we have seen over and over again in recent years.)

They feel that there's a moral obligation to "stand up and be counted" as lesbian.

This is a new one for me, but it does have a logic to it.

The explanation frequently given by people here, "they want to be special and steal our shine," makes no sense. Lesbians get treated like shit. Bisexual women know this.

I've always used the rule people don't just do things, there's always a reason. If you refuse to try to dig into why other people are doing something, in their own logic, you'll never figure out a way to convince them to stop. If they think lesbians are weak and need their help, the way to stop them would be to demonstrate that lesbians are fine on their own.
