Looking for perspective

So I was in another discussion group and the idea that there's no such thing as a lesbian came up. And that there's growing support for this idea. I started to do some additional reading and kept seeing the notion that a lesbian is a confused straight woman or she was traumatized by men or her sexuality is evolving. It got me thinking about what is the real motivation here. I was reading a male psychologist's writings about it and started to think about his possible bias. He tried to summarize it as these women turned from men because they only had experience with losers. I found it insulting and simplistic. I am a psychologist and a woman. One of my cousins and best friends is a lesbian. Is this concept another attempt at controlling women or trying to minimize something they don't understand? According to the article, the prevalence of lesbian and bisexual has increased, they use this to supposedly support the idea that it's trendy. The ignorance in that premise is ridiculous to me. I would be interested to hear other views on this.
