I see people skipped the part where I said it was a bit pointing out how pointless and tedious that being exact about canon can be.

Involuntary celibacy is an oxymoron, by the way. There is no right to get laid.
tell that to those misgynistic asshats that call themselves that. entitlement is their big unifier
No, it's not an oxymoron, because you can have voluntary celibacy as well. An oxymoron is "a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g. faith unfaithful kept him falsely true )."
The timelines split just before his Kelvin birth, so the fetus was the same.
Mirror Sulu showed interest in Uhura, and nothing else was canonically revealed about him.
Yes, I know what an oxymoron is; that's why I used it.
You are wrong that involuntary celibacy is not an oxymoron. It is an oxymoron.
To use a dance analogy, you are free to voluntarily sit out all dances and deny anyone's request to dance with you.
But, as the saying goes, it takes two to tango, meaning that it's not up to you alone whether you get to dance with somebody else.
Yep.
Not in France, we are protected against this kind of abuse. You can only fire people for something they did while they were supposed to work for you, not during their off time. Private life here is private. I am afraid your form of capitalism has just created a new kind of slavery.
According to the first google result "celibacy is the state of voluntarily being unmarried, sexually abstinent, or both"
Thus, involuntary celibacy is involuntary voluntarily being unmarried, sexually abstinent, or both.
That's not what I meant at all. You basically understood the opposite of what I said. I am perfectly Ok with people choosing a sexual identity as long as it's their own choosing. What I am saying is that some people don't want to be labeled, just as some people don't want to be categorized as left or right and that should be also fine.
Do you get what I am saying?
Yes, that's definitely an oxymoron.
Humans label every single thing, it's how we think. And you don't choose a sexual identity, you're born that way. Your problem is that you don't like the labels that describe you. What heterosexual and cisgender? All that means is that you're attracted to the opposite gender and your gender aligns with your body at birth. It's just a word that describes a certain aspect, not anything about who you are as a person or how you behave. We can't have some aspect of how humans exist without labeling it something, how else would you describe or mention it? What you're asking for makes absolutely no sense. It sounds like you're just uncomfortable with the very notions of sexuality and gender. If so, you may just want to avoid any discussion of this. But given that you voluntarily engaged in this thread to whine about how you don't want it shoved down your throat I doubt that will happen.
What about people who detransition?
"Whine"? Why are you being offensive? Did say something about you? Did I call you a name? I don't whine. Plus What I am saying is not for myself but mostly for some of my friends who had to suffer being labeled because of whom they were seen dating.
I'll give you an example. A friend of mine, did some experimenting with homosexuality when he was a lot younger and someone used that to make his girlfriend break up with him. Do you think that's normal or is he the victim of some kind of abuse?
How does that affect sexual identity at birth?
If it was consensual, what's the problem?
The problem is being pigeonholed for life because of something you did at one time in your life. I can't be any clearer than that.
So the problem is homophobia. I agree.
This.
WHY does it matter to anyone cis if that happens? How does it affect your day or wider life any more than someone who listens to a genre of music you don't like and someone whom you don't personally know making you angry and/or sad?
They're born that way and even IF they weren't it's nobody's business but that of the person dealing with their own identity and those they love that said status would immediately effect.
Isn't that what we're being asked to avoid?
Here's an idea to ponder: let people be their own sexual and emotional beings. You're whatever you are. They're whatever they are and have chosen to be. You don't have their struggle and if you did you might see things in a completely reversed way, and what is being said in this thread right now would be anathema.
