Many scholars, policy analysts, and activists now argue that the “born this way” frame is politically narrow and scientifically inaccurate in important ways, even though they still reject the idea that queerness is a mere “choice.” Research on sexual fluidity suggests that orientation (especially for some women and some bi‑identified people) can show limited change or flexibility across the life course, but those shifts are not voluntary and do not resemble “conversion therapy” fantasies.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
