Sorry but no labels are static. Sexuality is fluid. You can be gay all your life, you can be a lesbian all your life, or you can realize that that label doesn’t work anymore. It’s not switching up on your sexuality. Stop being weird about this

Your personal feelings about YOUR sexuality are not the feelings of everyone.

Conversion therapy to a T. Like as a gay man I’m not gonna magically become attracted to women

Fr seeing it with so many upvotes was a bit weird Like as someone who’s identified on the edge of bi and unlabeled for yrs and especially as someone who’s trans I think my identity isn’t fluid, it’s the same as it is but I’m just more comfortable - it didn’t necessarily “change”. It’s not a choice and it’s not something that can switch out

they’re not saying it’s fluid like it’s a choice, they’re saying it’s fluid like it takes a while to understand what label truly fits you.

I don’t think that’s what OOP was saying, I took it as more “this label that I chose for myself never fit me in the first place, so coming out as something else a few years later doesn’t mean I was faking, it just means I didn’t know everything about myself yet.” A lot of people get mad at others for “changing their sexuality” when that’s not really what happened. Maybe they just finally got over that roadblock in their mind like comphet and have a clearer view of themselves, and that’s okay

it also kinda enforces the “straight = default” narrative which isn’t true. i feel like i can see what op was going for but it could have been said a lot better

You can be bisexual and still realize other peoples sexualities won’t change 😭 this is not bisexual specific it’s just annoying

No hate tho I get what you’re saying. It’s a lot easier to say you can be attracted to multiple genders EVENTUALLY when you actively are attracted to multiple genders.

That’s often not how it is applied tho. After I came out as a lesbian, I had so many queer people tell me that sexuality is fluid and to not close myself off to men. My mom says, “you still really like boys don’t close yourself off to men”. The problem is how people use the phrase to invalidate lesbians

but that’s obviously not what the original post was saying at all. They were literally talking about labels just not fitting anymore.

“Sorry but no labels are static” is invalidating static labels, and encourages this behavior

“Sexuality is fluid” sexuality can be fluid. It is not fluid for everyone. My labels changed not bc I went from straight to bi to lesbian. My labels changed bc I discovered who I was, I look back on my life and it always there. It is not good to invalidate the experience of comp het

yes that’s exactly what they’re saying. They’re not saying you WERENT lesbian, they’re saying the LABELS you used to define your sexuality were fluid and changed over time. You literally just agreed with them.

fluid = changing, shifting. static = staying the same. what they said is that labels do not stay the same in the context of bisexuals discovering they’re not lesbians. it’s a weird as hell thing to say because most lesbians spend their entire lives as lesbians after discovering their identity
