I think those "drop the G" "Drop the L" "Drop the B" are nothing more than attempts by T to cause conflict and infighting inside the LGB community to drive the attention away from them.

100%. They're running this campaign right now on ovarit, actually.

Wait, really? Curious, do you have any links to examples?

I know we had a conversation a while back about bad agents' tactics used to subvert online forums. Sounds like an example of that?

From what I understand, they are doing that because they are mad about "bihet women" in lesbian spaces, and they generally blame the B for the current situation with the T. They think most bi people are faking it for attention.

It could be a TRA psyop -- I've seen a few TRAs brag about pilfering Ovarit codes -- but I doubt it.

"bihet women"

This phrase is a massive red flag. Anytime I've seen someone use it unironically, they've turned out to be deeply misogynistic and/or biphobic.

Yeah, I could see it going either way. A lot of radical feminists are biphobic. (And homophobic.) And that's not just from TRAs making them look bad; Julie Bindel and other radfem leaders have been shitting on bisexual women for decades.

edit: Also thanks for the example link!
