See, I don't understand people hating on Irene for invalidating their Sherlock ships; I mean, in my mind, it does the exact opposite.

If Sherlock is romantically interested in Irene, the "married to his work" thing comes up, and Sherlock would choose his work first. Worst case scenario, Irene pops in and out of their lives much like Sarah does, and fandom is pretty good about accepting/ignoring Sarah when they want to.

If Sherlock isn't romantically interested in Irene, you've lost nothing, and fandom keeps on swimming for all interpretations.

If Sherlock is sexually attracted to Irene, that means he feels sexual attraction, and fandom usually goes the all sexuals are bisexuals route anyway, so no problems there. Then, Sherlock could have said "no relationships" to John in the first episode for any of the normal fanon reasons, reasons which are not going to disappear if he likes Irene. Plus, how many times will Sherlock's work require a dominatrix? She's probably a very minor character, so the presence of any sexual attraction on Sherlock's part can really only strengthen whatever your ship is.

If Sherlock isn't sexually attracted to Irene, you've lost nothing, and fandom keeps on swimming for all interpretations.

In short: Leave Irene alone, she's really not bothering anyone. Personally, I'm just hoping to get some one-uping Sherlock snark out of her character, and then I will be content.

exactly! she's honestly not a "threat" to their ships because it's highly unlikely that any ship with sherlock will actually happen in the first place. So everyone can imagine their hypothetical situations and be happy. Supposedly.
