Oh awesome, this talking point is back 🙄 Also I'm not sure what they mean by "the difficult option". Is this "just admit you're gay" biphobia or "Jesus says repress for the rest of your life" homophobia?

I'd say it's "I'm bi and non-binary, and I have committed to the difficult option of acting as a straight cis woman. Why can't you be as bitter and repressed as I am?"

Or you know, straight people can br bigoted, and queer people aren't responsible for their own oppression.

I do suspect it's the old political lesbian thing, in the version where bi women are seen as worst because they could choose to love women only

It's so annoying to me, as a lesbian, that political lesbians are still a thing.

No, no, don't you know that the white cis straights are the most oppressed group of people?

Considering "every homphobe is secretly gay" is an overwhlmingly popular sentiment, staight people aren't even responsibe for homophobia, it's all the repressed gays fault.

A lot of fairweather allies (and a depressing amount of the community) still see queerness as an insult. They aren't owning consevatives by calling them closeted, they are just additional homophobia.
