Trevor – how are either of these things indicative of being a phase? (and you left out part of your point # 1 “but they tended to switch between bisexual and unlabeled rather than to settle on lesbian or heterosexual as their identities.”

Bigger problem with the study: tiny sample size.

Interesting new definitions of “not a phase,” quoted from the linked article…

1. Bisexual and unlabeled women were more likely than lesbians to change their identity over the course of the study.
2. Seventeen percent of respondents switched from a bisexual or unlabeled identity to heterosexual during the study — but more than half of these women switched back to bisexual or unlabeled by the end.
