Notes -
Just semi-randomly encountered this:
Wut? I dont remember hearing any claims of sexual orientation manifesting pre-puberty. It doesnt seem like it would fit a christian narrative either. Is there some background I dont know?
It’s not unusual a claim, even for straights.
((Though not universal; there’s no shortage of people in that thread not noticing until much later, and I myself was a very late bloomer in both the sexual arousal and romantic attraction senses. Those I was curious about what other guy’s dicks looked like well before I wanted to do anything and that I’d assume straight guys didn’t, so maybe I was just really clueless.))
There’s an uncertain question of whether it’s post hoc hindsight, and a bigger question whether it distinguishes sexual orientation from romantic orientation. But the split attraction model is itself a controversial mess, and enough of its ‘clearest’ cases are just as clearly closeted that I’m skeptical of self-reports.
How did that tweet end up sticking in your memory, o lorekeeper?
The downside to building a good memory is that you end up with a good memory, though in that case it's because of MorlockP's treatment of "I can save her" as particularly verbotten that it stuck better (and was more searchable).
