Unfortunately having "bad taste" in men seems to be an almost universal commonality amongst bi women. Not something to be celebrated perhaps but certainly not something you should feel "not bi" for experiencing.

I find the emphasis queer woman politics places on scrutinizing the morality of individual relationships extremely unhelpful -- individualistic, politically unproductive, and victim-blamey if not actively harmful to queer people. And it is straight men's desires and choices that cause the most harm and deserve the most scrutiny, yet they are the least exposed to this discourse. It feels like the only way to avoid it is not engage at all.

I feel the comment you’ve linked is quite interesting because they’ve put so much weight on their trauma but have gone on to say that feelings of being “fake bi” is not as damaging when most of the research says that the abysmal on the ground material conditions of bisexuals is a result of erasure and internal feelings of faking bisexuality lol
