I'm saying that a lot of them don't identify as bi, and in the case of AGB, are appropriating the "gay" label, but there are also a lot of bis who do id as bi doing this.

I just know that in r/actuallesbians, and almost all of the other "lesbian" online communities I've seen, a ton of them are not

Ok but just to be clear here, are we talking about people who id as bi or don't? And are actually bi or not? The posts on r/actuallesbians are mostly from transbians and a few bi women, while r/AGB actually has a lot of legitimate gay men and a decent portion of bi men who participate. r/actuallesbians posters preaching about girldick are probably mostly transbians themselves, with a few bi women. That sub is already taken over. However, r/AGB seems to be in the midst of a targeted attack by r/AHS, where most of the boypussy posts aren't from legit transgays, and the problem is bi guys (who may or may not LARP as gay) saying they would love some boypussy, making gays look bad.

I am talking about people who ID as bisexual. I agree that the distinctions between people who ID as bi on AGB vs AL are important. But I'm still skeptical as to whether many of the ones who ID as bisexual on AGB are actually bisexual men and not bisexual-ID'ing AAP women (transmen).

That said-- the issue of bisexual men who do not mention that they're bisexual, as OP described, still stands. I am inclined to assume that most of them don't realize the harm they may be doing by NOT specifying, "By the way, I like p*ssy because I'm bisexual, not gay," and that it might be fruitful to open a conversation with them. Perhaps that assumption's mistaken, but I'd be curious to hear why, if so.
