What do you think about the words "yestergay" and "hasbian"? Claims that a person was once a gay or lesbian, but now they are into the opposite sex.

I think it's dumb. People who are LGBT are born that way, they can't help being attracted to the same sex anymore than heterosexual people are attracted to the opposite sex.

Or asexuals, who can't help not being sexually attracted to anyone.

I think that they are outdated and come across as biphobic / bisexual erasure.

Bisexuals may choose to quit dating the same sex and start dating the opposite sex and they may refer to themselves as "yestergay", but that would refer to who they date, not who they are attracted to. Bisexuals will always be bisexual, just like people only into one sex will always be that way.

I'd prefer that humans be referred to as humans, without the use of joke terminology.
Those words sound condescending to me like a mockery of the person's free will.

My own various personal experiences have affected & altered the types of women I'm attracted to physically & mentally as well as the ways I experience attraction so I do not think of sexuality as a constant fixed state. I'm still kinda confused but I kinda gave up trying to understand. I hate the stereotyping & judgements society makes about sexuality & gender.

How about "notistic" for someone who thought they were autistic, but not anymore? :lol:

British actor Michael Gambon talked about in an interview, so it must be a real thing: "I used to be gay, but I was forced to give it up, because it made my eyes water."
