It's not about love, it's about physical attraction. No matter how progressive society gets, some bodies will only respond to penises and some will only respond to vaginas.

Applying current standards to the 24th century invalidates all arguments. The point is they're supposed to be that advanced. How often does someone wax poetic about equality and the barbaric ways humans used to do whatever?

I'm reminded of that other episode where Riker was all in favor of that other alien who wanted to identify as a woman, despite their asexual society looking down upon it.

To be totally fair, Jonathan Frakes has gone on record more than once expressing his disappointment that they went with them identifying as (and being portrayed by) a woman instead of a man, because he felt like it really dulled the entire point of the episode.

Being socially or intellectually advanced doesn't mean that you can change your sexuality at will.

And what if sexuality isn't a choice? What if physical attraction isn't a choice? You can't socially progress yourself into being attracted to someone you're not attracted to.

What does being "advanced" have to do with it? Strip away all social constraints regarding who you are supposed to be with and people will still have preferences. Attraction isn't voluntary.

what a stupid assumption, do you realize that in saying a straight person should be willing to have a sexual relationship with someone they're not attracted to, you're saying the same for gay people too? that you're continuing the narrative that gay people can change their sexualities if they tried hard enough/were open-minded enough? no amount of centuries passing is going to make me capable of being straight, sorry.

Do you actually think sexual orientation will disappear in the 24th century or something ???????

What?

I've heard some bi/pan people say we just need to get rid of labels.

Re: Transphobia/Cissexism/Homophobia

(Anonymous) 2015-09-24 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well, those particular bi/pan people are fucking stupid, then. Nothing pisses me off more than the "lol everyone's a little bi!!!" rhetoric. Some people really, really aren't.

Those people are called homophobes, hth

No, they're not. It's not funny to call people names just because they're different from you. I thought we all learned that in kindergarten, but maybe you need a refresher.

being 100% straight makes you homophobic now?

but if you're 100% gay, nobody better dare say you're "a little bit bi", of course.
