    This makes far too many unsupported assumptions.

    • That an effect capable of turning a woman straight must also be capable of turning a man gay.
    • That the requirements for both tasks are the same, or at least similar enough to dismiss the idea that one might fall outside the realm of possibility.
    • That if something is theoretically possible it must actually exist.

    Proving the existence of King Midas does not prove that there are other monarchs out there capable of transmuting matter into silver, or lead, or helium. It might imply that such a thing is possible, but without more information we can’t say for sure.

      I’ve also seen some of these shitheads referring to the imagined phenomenon as “resetting to factory settings,” which obviously in their minds implies heterosexuality. If anything, they’d be more likely to believe that there are also genitals that can make gay/bi women and bi men straight.
