Anyone can be straight passing, including gay men and lesbians. Not just bisexual people

I feel like everytime biphobia gets discussed, were accused of being privileged because we can be "straight passing" - as in, nobody recognizes that were queer on the first glance.

Issue is......literally anyone can be straight passing?? All you need to do is 1) not be visibly gnc, 2) not he visibly alt (even though straight people are more and more alt nowadays), 3) not actively make out with the same gender when you go out.

Like I'm sorry but the irony of a lesbian calling me straight passing when shes tall, skinny, wearing "clean girl aesthetic" and single is so funny to think about. There are many lesbians who date butches who pass for men, gay men who date femboys who pass for women, and bisexuals who date the same gender (or someone who just doesnt pass for the opposite gender.) The same way there are straight women who date femboys and straight men who date mascs.

At this point, I feel like they use "straight passing" as a synonym for "being attracted to the opposite gender in any capacity that looks straight to me". Because genuinely theres no way they have so little experience with homophobia that they think straights can sniff it out when youre "half straight" and therefore leave you alone.
