Both would experience a lack of sexual attraction towards the gender they’re fucking

like if I identify as lesbian now but tell you that I had sex with men all through college, that doesn't make my present identification less valid

Lots of lesbians have sex with men as a way to repress their sexuality, convince themselves they are straight or just haven’t quite realized *why* they don’t enjoy sex with men. That makes sense to me. If you are actively having and enjoying sex with men.. u wouldn’t be a lesbian tho ?

the tweet didn't say anything about enjoying it though. idk maybe i'm wrong but that's how i interpreted it: your sexuality is not changed by actions

Sexuality isn’t changed by your actions but sex is an action? Intention matters too but talking abt having sex and sexual behavior i think it’s safe to assume it’s with mutual enjoyment, with the exception of unrealized/repressed identities and asexuals. Ppl having sex with some1 they aren’t attracted to is a small minority id say so to claim what OP is saying so broadly seems kinda harmful without context or nuance

idk I fully thought that was what the tweet meant. at some points we're just guessing what someone else's intentions were, right?

But intention and context matters.. you can’t just claim that lesbians and gay men can have sex with the opposite gender/sex for fun, they were just rlly horny, or bc they are bored etc.. that’s homophobic. Homosexuals can be confused, or have a history with heterosexuality, be sex workers or forced and that is all valid. But a homosexual does NOT intentionally choose to have sex with their opposite.

isn't it... the opposite of that? someone at a conversion camp would say "wow look at that. he was gay before but now he's dating a woman. we fixed him. :)" whereas the writer of this tweet would say no that's obviously stupid if he was gay before he's not magically straight now

That’s not homophobic and it’s also not true. You’re conflating refusal to participate in preventive harm reduction with attacking a community. It’s not homophobic to say something that homophobes could repurpose to attack queer people. They attack us regardless. You can tell me that what I said could be used to excuse conversion therapy, but don’t tell me I support conversion therapy because I said it, bc I’m not responsible for censoring myself for people who already hate us no matter what.

It’s not “homophobes repurposing it.” You ARE the homophobes.

People can do whatever they want and identify as whatever they want. It isn’t untrue that they’re homosexual unless they’re not exclusively attracted to what they would consider to be the opposite gender, because that’s what homosexual means. You can’t just redefine words on a whim.

Homophobic for saying homosexuals can do whatever they want? Alright dude. I fear we’ve lost the plot.

If whatever they want is fucking the opposite sex…they’re not homosexuals.

I know you just feel very righteous trying to be the most inclusive and positive thinking person here … but what you are saying and implying is homophobic YOU have lost the plot. Homosexuals didn’t fight for their right to “do whatever they want” they fought for their right to date and have sex with the person the same sex as them. You went so far left you ended up a conservative.

No??? “Just because you’ve had sex with men before and don’t feel anything towards women DOESNT mean you can’t be straight! Just have sex with the women and that’ll fix everything :) and even if it doesn’t, well have sex with women anyway because your sexuality means nothing to us.”

obviously homophobes who think being gay is a choice are always going to think you could decide not to keep being gay with enough encouragement. i would hope neither of us agrees with that, though – which is exactly what the tweet says. no amount of ACTIONS that are incongruous with your sexuality will actually change it. because your sexuality... goes beyond... your actions...
