A couple years ago, over on The Avatar Wiki, in a thread(s) discussing Korra and Asami's sexualities, I kept saying that calling them "bi" *because* "they dated Mako" was disengenius. At best the statement should be "Korra and Asami are bi *despite* both having dated Mako". Many lesbians can go through a series of hetero dates—even marriage and having children—and still not recognize their true sexualities until later in their lives.

I got accused of "bisexual erasure" for refusing to recognize what the creators had wrought. I even pointed out that of their two (1 each) after-show blogs, "bi/bisexuals" was only mentioned ONCE and as a parenthetical aside, but not that Korra and Asami were themselves bi. That the only way we can truly tell is if a future (canon or official) story has them willingly dating a guy. Or if they *state* they are bi.

Despite my experience as a sex therapist, my views were rebuffed. Eventually I had to leave the conversation alone.

I recommend the same to you here: leave the conversation alone.
