Did... did you just use the plot of some
fictional story as an anecdote to try and justify some form of development as
realistic?
It depends, there is a manga where the girl thought he was a boy, and she went out with "him" for a few months without knowing that he was a girl (the girl didn't know how to tell him the truth, stupid but meh) but when she found out the truth the kept wanting. There are people who are straight until they fall in love with someone else's soul.
Even so, the chances of this girl being straight are high xd
Wow, it's so romantic, a lesbian dressing up to look like a guy to get the attention of her straight friend. The next step, she's going to change her gender et become a real guy.
Going to that extent for someone who will never choose you over her sexual orientation. And if they eventually end together, she's only going to be a placeholder until her next boyfriend. If her straight friend was into girls, she would have gone out with her if she confessed. But changing your looks to look more like a guy and get her attention, it's pitiful. If her only criterion to go out with someone it's their looks, it's not surprising that she ends up with douchebags. She will eventually learn that looks in a relationship is pretty useless.
This kind of work who show lesbian going through hardship or bad choices just to going out with a straight girl are just pitiful. Now she looks like a guy, but when she will dress up more feminine, what's going to happen ? I'm pretty sure her friend will reminder her that she was more handsome when she was more boyish, because she's fucking straight.
I definitely see where everyone’s coming from. Even though manga and real life are very different, they still show that there’s different spectrums of sexual orientation. In this instance, a girl could be “straight” (or non-labeled) and still fall in love with another girl because of who she is and gender doesn’t matter.
On the other hand, a girl could just be straight, and wouldn’t be able to like girls even if she tried. What would not be good, though, is when another girl who wants to be with her has to change herself in any sort of way.
In this case, it’s kind of hard to tell if the main girl is strictly straight or maybe she could potentially fall in love with with her for who she is/friends to lovers trope. However, just like I mentioned, the girl cuts her hair, changes dress style, and cross dresses as a guy suddenly. Not for herself, but for the girl she likes which didn’t even have the outcome and reaction she was hoping for.
My solution if I were to continue the story: have main girl take more time to heal as a single girl. Love interest girl should be there to comfort her, but not baby her. Have her limits. Don’t get hooked by main girl in her wallow stage. After time passes, main girl would be able to think clearly and then from there she’ll be able to analyze who she is and who she wants with love interest girl by her side
