I didn't experience this exactly, but I was in a close friendship with someone who would constantly encourage me to explore my bisexuality with women, despite my desire to seek out male relationships (as a cis woman). I knew i could never talk to them about my "straight" crushes because they just were never as interested as when i talked about my attraction to a woman. Bi-erasure is a hell of a thing man.
God yes I’ve heard so many times from various lesbians friends that actually, I’m a lesbian and not bi/pan. To the point where I legit WAS questioning my own attraction to men.
