And I am a lesbian, but I know exactly what you mean about the misguided views lesbians tend to have on bisexual women. Every time I see: "Well, she said she was bi, but she ended up marrying a man. Guess she really was just straight." I just roll my eyes. And I rebuttal, "So if she married a woman, she'd really be a lesbian?"
Somehow that never seems to piece together.
Yeah, it's like you become the sexual orientation to match whomever you marry! Â I actually have a bi friend married to a woman and she has to remind folks "no, I'm not a lesbian, I'm bi." Â I'm in a relationship with a bi guy and we have a similar conversation, except we have to say, "nope, not straight, still like all genders!"
I hand out with lesbians a lot (I'm in the Xena: Warrior Princess fandom) and 70% of folks are cool and accepting, but sometimes they'll get on rants about bi girls on their Facebooks and how they never date them because they'll talk about how they miss penises (what? who says this to their lover?) or end up leaving them for a man.
