MTE. Of course there are intelligent bi folks who understand homosexuality and don't believe our sexuality is fluid. But it seems like the bi folks who are in gay spaces do believe we all like both sexes... but we have a "preference" for the same sex, and sometimes we'll dabble with the opposite sex. No sir. No ma'am. We don't do that.

My mom is bi and has never asked me if I liked dudes because she understands lesbianism. She played a huge role in making sure I never questioned my sexuality and told me that only liking girls was perfectly okay. We had other issues, such as her hating masculinity and wanting me to be a lipstick lesbian instead of a butch, but we went to therapy and resolved that. People here shit on radfems, but my mom is a radfem who made for damn sure that compulsory heterosexuality didn't affect me. I never wanted male attention/validation... except from gay guys. Ugh, I thought my gay guy friends' opinions mattered on fashion/style. My mom told me not to listen to them lol gay men rule the fashion industry and dictate what women should wear. 👎🏾
