Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Generally I'd consider calling someone who identifies as bisexual a lesbian to be bi erasure since lesbian is generally understood to mean a woman attracted to women so it would be erasing the fact that they're attracted to other genders.
Yeah as a lesbian, I assume homosexuality when someone says they’re a lesbian. It’s what I mean when I say it. Bi women are gladly welcomed in all sapphic contexts except the ones where nonattraction to men is relevant but I’m not going to erase their bisexuality by implying homosexuality in them
If saying that those women are attracted to women were bi erasure, it would be bi erasure to call them wives.
No, because lesbian is generally understood to mean a woman attracted to women. Alone. Wife is just a gendered term for spouse.
Nah, you made that up just now
