I wonder too if he's contacting you because he somehow found out you're bi, and so many of the trans crowd think for some reason that bisexuals should be so much more able to be interested in them.

Yeah, that's true enough, in both senses of "interested": finding them to be kindred spirits somehow... and finding them fuckable. (Indeed, being obligated to fuck them, as per the standard transologist line aimed at bisexuals: "well, YOU like BOTH, so you have no excuse for not being attracted to trans people!1!")

This seems to be the result of their misunderstanding bisexuality as something other than a sexual orientation. Which allows them to write in the definition that best serves their purposes. Usually something along the lines of either our being indifferent to biological sex (so all that we notice about anyone is "gender"), or being this kind of indiscriminately-accepting affirmation-blob who loves EVERYONE (like Jesus).

I also suspect that the vulnerability of bisexuals as a group (largely invisible, etc.) makes us targets for these exploitation-specialists: we're prone to believing these things ourselves... and not being much good at self-defense even if we don't.
