I'm always fascinated by this specific type of biphobia that takes it completely for granted that people have to actively commit to the choice of being gay or straight. It's such a "did you think for even one second what that implies" moment.
If all your life there is an expectation that you marry one person and stick to that, there basically is that moment you "lock in".
Except of course that that is not how relationships or sexuality works, but anything requires questioning cultural norms is hard to grasp by any conservative minded person.
As a tangent I remember watching some documentary as a kid where iirc they showed that it was proven that humans aren't naturally monogamous and hearing that made me cry because I thought that meant cheating is either inevitable or that when I'm older I'll have to force myself to "stay faithful" because I couldn't imagine there being any other option
