Do bisexuals have "straight privilege"?

Someone said this to me today.

what is "straight privilege"?
SW-User
@SW-User yeah, it sounds pretty hokey to me. i'm not buying it, so far.

@JoanieNewHampshire the privilege of not being mistreated by straight people who are intolerant towards people who aren't, as long as you're currently dating someone of the opposite sex. silly people.
Agreed!@SW-User

What the hell is that even supposed to mean?🤔 How did you respond?

@StonerGirl69 I wasn't entirely sure since I didn't get to engage in a debate with him. But I probably would've pointed out that it doesn't matter if a bisexual person is attracted to the opposite sex or in a relationship with the opposite sex, that does not make them straight and they will never be seen that way.
They will to those casual encounters where no one knows the subject. People will assume straight when they are with the opposite sex and gay when they are with the same sex each observation gas it's stereotypes, and one has some negitive conintations. Or at least one is treated differently then the other.@SW-User

Be careful of people who say a group they are not in has privileges, they may be a whiny bitch.

I don't like labels either for just that reason, privilege @DaneeK
