Penises also line up with other orifices, whether male or female. I knew a guy in college who had a thing for armpits.

And yet it takes egg and sperm for the human race to go on. So, inherently, male plus female. That’s biology stating what’s normal.

So you only believe in sex for reproduction? How boring! I’m straight, but I’d hate to skip all the stuff that doesn’t ever lead to babies.

My DD came out as bi last year but now identifies as lesbian and dates women. She told me she is still attracted to boys but isn't comfortable with them. She had a couple of crappy things happen with boys in the past. Having a girlfriend is like having a best friend (which she hasn't really had due to social anxiety)and being in a relationship.
Who knows if she ends up with a man or woman at the end of the day- I'm fine with either as long as she is happy.

OP, you sound incredibly defensive. What does it matter if it was a “phase” for other teens or not?

You do you. Tell her being bi/gay is awful, you won’t support it, it’s not how the parts line up, whatever you believe. If you’re correct and this is nothing but a rebellious streak, then this should work and she won’t be bi anymore.

(When I say “normal” it doesn’t mean other ways are negative, just not the norm. Normal isn’t a judgment call, it refers to what occurs most often in human nature.)

Oh and "normal" is never fashionable? You think that young people have never tried to be straight because it was fashionable?

Here's Merriam-Webster's definition: "conforming to the custom, fashion, or established mode." Uh, you think heterosexuality is not an "established mode"? Sorry, you're just rearranging definitions in order to avoid acknowledging the fact that young people might pretend to be heterosexual because it is a fashionable trend.

It’s not fashionable. It’s normal, and biologically necessary for the survival of the species.

Uh, and you wonder why so many LGBTQ people have tried so hard throughout history to be straight - to the point of dating and marrying people they don't love? It's always been fashionable!

?!

17 yr DD never showed any leaning toward anything other than being straight until a year or so ago. Now claims to be bi. I know it’s strangely a trendy thing now.

Has your daughter had this pass and is back to being straight?

What makes you think that her saying that she was straight wasn't a phase? That's been trendy much longer than being bi. My kid insisted she was straight for much of her youth. Given that she came out as bi later and continues to be bi, I'd say that being straight was the actual fashionable trend that she adopted because other people were doing it.

No. She is still bi.
