The amount of woke bisexuals has honestly gotten out of control.

In my experience, most of them are straight people larping though.

They see bisexuality as an easy way to obtain oppression points to flaunt around, all with minimal risk involved, as they're predominantly straight leaning and tend to not express said identity outside of the internet (yes, even the ones who live in ultra-liberal areas).

I COMPLETELY agree.

Like, I seriously think we are underestimating the number of straight people LARPing as bisexual. They LARP as lesbians ("political lesbians") and trans ("I'm trans even though I have no gender dysphoria and have zero interest in transitioning and am not even GNC"), why the hell not LARP as bisexuals? Especially when bisexuality is arguably the easiest to pretend to be; a straight person could just be like "I'm sexually attracted to the opposite sex and I'm only romantically attracted to the same sex, I just like hugging them" I'm not even joking lol I knew someone like this in college. Perhaps this is a Gen-Z-only phenomenon, or it's more common on the internet, but it is real.

True. And I'm exhausted lol. I do think there are a lot of bisexuals who are drinking the Kool aid though. They don't have as much to lose by adopting TRA rhetoric because the language around bisexuality is already fucked.
