I didn't go to worst case scenario and made no assumptions - I said "unless" and it was based on a great deal of prior experience of people saying "you changed the character's sexuality" (a bit difficult unless we are explicitly told a person never looked at someone of their own (or the opposite, in the case of those shown in same-sex pairings) gender. And that's pretty rare.

Frankly your example *really* doesn't help your case. Suggesting someone might have had, or have in future, different sexual preferences than they are shown to have in those slices of their fictional existence we have so far, is not at all like changing their gender, and to suggest it does actually makes my caveat more likely, not less.

Real life example. A Victorian man, married with four daughters. 100% straight, right?
