STFU Moffat
Because some people shouldn't be allowed to have their shit left unquestioned.
Before we get any questions like "If you hate Doctor Who so much you can just stop watching!":
We don't hate DW or Sherlock, in fact we really really like those shows. That is why we're being critical. If we didn't like them, we wouldn't be nearly as annoyed, we'd simply change channels.

Moffat and Gatiss both said in interviews that Irene Adler was a lesbian, so they obviously intended her to be read that way. So, sure, if you're looking at the show from an in-universe/Watsonian point of view and disregarding authorial intent it makes more sense to assume she's bi (bearing in mind that in the real world lesbians don't randomly fall for men while bi people do sometimes refer to themselves as gay), but if you're criticising how the show is written/constructed (ie understanding>
stfu-moffat Said:
>that the characters aren’t real people and thus approaching the show from an out-of-universe/Doylist perspective), then yes, Irene is canonically a lesbian who fell for a man because Steven Moffat’s a misogynist, homophobe and biphobe.
Yes, the main difference is that Irene isn’t a person who exists in the real world but is a character created as part of a story, whose actions and identity are decided by her writer. And her purpose in the story is to be a lesbian who falls for a man to show how exceptional and amazing Sherlock is.
Her other purpose is to be naked, because women who date women aren’t sexualised enough by media aimed at men.
