I'm bi and I agree with you. I am a former TRA, and I'm actually bisexual, actually same-sex leaning. The idea that every bi person who does something bad/is a TRA is just a het faker is ridiculous. L&G are a minority within a minority. I know several (real) bis, but I only know a single lesbian and zero gay men (to be fair, I don't go out much or participate in "LGBT" groups) in real life. Of course you want your own space, and you deserve it. There will always be a mixed space with homosexuals and bisexuals, but bi people also need their own spaces so they don't feel the need to rely on exclusively homosexual spaces, which are desperately needed. It seems like everyone here has forgotten why LGB is even a thing in the first place: it's a minority group built to lobby for our rights as a minority x_x . So don't homosexuals get to have their own groups so their voices are heard and they can spend time with one another?
