Some Gays Can Go Straight, Study Says

[Mister Agenda]

You know, maybe instead of focusing on the few cases where one part of the LGBTQ spectrum ends up identifying as a different part of the spectrum (like someone who previously considered themself a lesbian transforming themself into a trans man who seems to be functionally straight), there’s better possible groups that we could wonder about changing.

Maybe something like pedophilia, which, unlike the vast majority of LGBT people, is inherently dangerous if acted upon.

The OP was about whether someone who is gay can become straight.  Elliot Page proves that a lesbian can become a straight man.  There's a reason I brought it up, Page proves that orientation is mailable.  I realize people on here do not like that, but it's a fact.

His orientation didn't change, he liked women before he transitioned and he still ikes women now. If anything it supports the contention that orientation isn't malleable, you can profoundly change your gender identity without it affecting your orientation. Page's orientation is exactly what you would expect it to be. It would be just weird if she became a gay man, wouldn't it?

I'm sorry for the tone, but it's hard to say this without sounding condescending. Maybe it's the word 'orientation' that confuses you. Orientation is about who you are attracted to. Just because we have words for women attracted to women and men attracted to men and so forth doesn't mean it's a change in orientation when your gender identity changes and who you are attracted to stays the same.
