I don’t think the comment “bisexuals have straight privilege unless they’re in lesbian relationships” makes any more sense than saying “lesbians have straight privilege while they’re single”. This makes the assumption that all bisexuals who are single or in opposite-sex relationships actively hide their sexual orientation.
If a gay woman keeps her sexual identity secret while she’s single in order to avoid discrimination, we don’t accuse her of co-opting straight privilege – we sympathize with her for feeling the need to closet herself. So why the double standard for bisexuals?
It might not apply to you, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t straight-looking femme lesbians, or androgynous-looking, rainbow-wearing, alternative-haircut-having bisexuals. My point is that that comment oversimplifies and overgeneralizes things in a way that seems unreasonable to me.

A bisexual or queer person who is in a “heterosexual” relationship DOES benefit from a level of privilege (unquestioned right to marriage, ability to be in public with your partner without receiving homophobic comments, less likely to be a victim of a hate crime, etc). It’s really important to remember thatttt, however this quote really hit home with me otherwise. It’s really shitty that we expect bi or queer women to ignore their attraction to women and/or other genders while in relationships with men, and that we erase that part of their identities. We often don’t sympathize with bi or queer women, as the quote said, who feel the need to closet themselves while in relationships with men. And that really erases the struggle that heteronormativity can cause in simply understanding one’s identity, and ultimately alienates these individuals from speaking up about that experience.

And I’d like to point out that attitudes like that mean that bisexual people are often not welcome in queer spaces but don’t feel welcome elsewhere, either — and bisexual people have higher suicidality rates than both gay men and lesbians:
34.8% bisexual men
25.8% gay men
45.4% bisexual women
29.5% lesbian

my god this, so many people say I’m not bi or not “queer” because I’m with a guy, it means I feel I cant join in LGBT clubs/nights/whatever because I wont be welcome
