First off, the idea of this being an "inversion" doesn't even make sense. And even if it were, we already have No Bisexuals for that.

Due to his notorious waffling, I don't think David Bowie belongs here.

Okay, this trope is about being bisexual and that's about it, yes? So why do I keep seeing people make examples of this when their bisexuality ends up being a big deal/plot point?

I take it that we haven't solved The Problem With Pen Island yet.

Yeah, Bithe Way isn't a typo of Bi The Way - it's just the Wiki Words do their thing whether it is properbly capitalized or not. Bit Hew Ay, Bith Ew Ay, Bi The Way.

The cut, while it's misguided, does raise an interesting issue - this seems quite hypocritical with two entries on this discussion page and three on the old one, but does anyone else think this is a bit People Sit On Chairs? I mean, even Straight Gay and Lipstick Lesbian serve a particular rhetorical need, with the backlash to older stereotypes and the "more Irish than the Irish themselves" counter-backlash (...yes, that is a word), but this is essentially any bisexual character who doesn't act like Catherine Tramell or Jack Harkness, and it's often used even less narrowly than that. It seems like just a repository of Tropers' bisexual validation after No Bisexuals started to get sick of simple aversions. Granted, with over a thousand wicks, it seems harsh to remove it, but...

Maybe we could move all the simple aversions of No Bisexuals here? We're not supposed to list aversions, so if we have a trope that is the exact inverse of another trope, that trope can take the other trope's aversions.
