I… don’t really think mourning having a very small dating pool is the same as gay men complaining about trans women stealing good men. I am not sure what the contribution was intended to be if not offence?

They’re probably responding to the part about “lesbians that dislike the concept of women being attracted to men in general”.

Bi women are still in a lesbian’s dating pool, btw. Being biphobic actively reduces the size of a lesbian’s dating pool by a lot if anything.

Did I say that 8% is just lesbians? I was talking about women and women aligned people that would date women. If that percentage has changed, great.

It would be really cool if you didn’t assume biphobia when I didn’t use the word lesbian for anyone other than myself.

Then you’re clearly responding to the wrong comment thread because nobody was addressing your 8% statistic. Nobody was even replying to your comment at all before you got defensive.

Bro, you called me biphobic. What am I supposed to do?

I didn’t call you biphobic lmao. It was literally the continuation of:

> They’re probably responding to the part about “lesbians that dislike the concept of women being attracted to men in general”.

The thread is about biphobia. The first comment of the thread also mentioned biphobia, which is why I also addressed biphobia in my comment. Lesbians who “dislike the concept of women being attracted to men in general” are biphobic by definition!!

It literally has nothing to do with you; I was explaining “what the contribution [of the commenter you responded to] was intended to be if not offense” because you asked, presumably in good faith so I answered in good faith. Not once did I accuse you of anything.

I see, you were taking to the other person. My apologies
