There is definitely a biological phenomenon where some women turn lesbian in their 40s and 50s as their hormones decline. I think a lot of these political lesbians have that but want to pretend it's a super special and intelligent choice they are making rather than a change happening to them which they can't do anything about.

I hear the opposite from my gay friends. Say that gay men generally are just gay their whole lives but lesbians tend to go straight when they get older. Though I think that begs to question whether the person was actually homosexual or identified as a lesbian because they just don't like men. (And then change their mind about the lesbian thing when they meet their Mr. Right)

I think there may be a concept of, I guess over sexualization of pop culture as well? Pop culture seems to focus on sex a lot more than I think the average person cares about it. So I think some of the kids growing up these days get confused because the television and the internet is telling them they should be turned on 24/7 but that's not very common (some people are hypersexual but I think it's a minority) so they are like "hmm this guy is attractive but I'm just not into him, must be gay"

I got pretty sick of shit when I was younger of random people questioning if I was gay or asexual or something because I wasn't interested in people. No everything works the way it should and I'm not interested in homosexual relationships. I just like spending time with my gay friends because they are fun, and I'm not interested in casual sex with randos. Yes that girl is very attractive, but that doesn't mean I want to actually be in a relationship with her. There's more to relationships than looks, or sex.
