Heterofatalist

The point here is not that heterofatalists’ gestures of disaffiliation are insincere, rather, that they are ‘performative’ because unaccompanied by collective experiments in abandoning, or even torquing, heterosexuality.

Staying true to Claire's assertion – 'I wouldn't change anything' (1:32:02) – in Time Traveller's Wife, heterofatalists recognise the limitations of compulsory heterosexuality but remain fully attached to it while ostensibly making the gesture to reject it wholesale.

Even if "heterofatalists" won't simply ditch everything and devote themselves to imagining intimacy differently, their performative dissatisfaction with (hetero) sexuality is the first step in doing so.

“I’m attracted to men because I love making bad choices,” goes one quintessentially heterofatalist tweet.
