Because they were never lesbians, they just wanted to be special so pretended to be lesbians. I doubt many of them ever even had sex with women. Lesbians are no longer cool(we're evil TERFs) and it's all about trans now and these straight women can stop pretending to be attracted to women.

I think for most there was some level of being aware of their desire for men and yet calling themselves lesbians for a variety of reasons (both push and pull factors) but it’s important to note that this is also a group characterized by black and white (lol BINARY) thinking. Feel any degree of attraction to women = lesbian. Have an emotionally fraught relationship with the male sex? Again, lesbian. In their minds.
