(Anonymous) 2011-04-05 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)This rule is taught by anyone taking social equality 101 because it means that no one is forced into a category they don't like.
You might very well be bisexual, but if you identify as lesbian you must be respected as such.
I know this rule sounds strange, but if you think about it, it's a patch on a system which is already broken - the fact that anyone is judged for their sexuality or race or mental ability or anything.
It took a while for my scientific brain to get my head around it too, OP, but it's a fix to a big problem and, on the whole, is way less harmful than making someone something they're not happy with.

(Anonymous) 2011-04-05 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)I respect people's labels in reality, but I don't always trust writers (particularly straight ones) to properly tell the story of a lesbian woman or a bi woman.
So do I 100% believe Willow's a lesbian? Probably not.

I also tend to think that actually having a discussion about this kind of thing - read, fictional characters and how they might or might not represent certain views on sexuality in society, how they can be interpreted in light of this or that event in their canon - isn't an omg bad thing. I think it's a good thing, because it lets people explore and explain their own views. Why do I see it as X? Why do you see it as Y? What do you base this view on? Oh, that's interesting. See, I always saw this as... and so forth. Fiction is playing around with ideas that might not be applicable in real life, and that's one of its strengths.

What upsets me is when she catches any hint or implication or suggestion that she may be at all straight (even just a little bi), that she may have ANY feelings for ANY male character again, if ever any male character flirts even a little, it's "HEY BACK OFF I'M GAY NOW GAWD GUYS." Because while she may have found a better path, while she may be happier with women now that she's discovered this possibility, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, what she had with Oz was real. Xander can be written off as a childhood crush and puppy love, platonic feelings confused for love, whatever. But Oz was not. So if she denies even the slightest remaining hint of heterosexual inclinations she has, then I get mad at HER.
Yeah, okay. TL;DR: Willow, you don't HATE cock, you just don't PREFER it. Get over yourself.

It's not necessarily the honest or the best response to insist monosexuality, but it's a defense mechanism and I don't get mad at her for it. (It'd be hypocritical; I did similar things when I was younger, sillier, and far less confident in my ability to assert myself.)
