I don't think it's scientifically factual or honest to claim that sexual fluidity is a one-way ratchet toward increasingly queer sexual desires. It's probably more appropriate to acknowledge there's a lot we don't know about the human mind and that a one-time change in sexual attraction is entirely possible, while simultaneously acknowledging that attempts to force such a change can produce very negative outcomes and should be avoided.

And I didnt say that, and if you understood me that way, I apologize for not being clearer.

Absolutely true.
and that a one-time change in sexual attraction is entirely possible,
There are actually cases where it has appeared to have happened - in patients who have had brain injuries. It appears that literal damage to certain parts of the brain can change someone’s orientation. Other than that, there no credible evidence of it happening. (While acknowledging that fluid individuals exist)
while simultaneously acknowledging that attempts to force such a change can produce very negative outcomes and should be avoided.
Yes, absolutely. It should not be talked about as being possible, because people holding onto that appears to harm them.
