The Instagram Post: Fu Yaning's Disputed Narrative
Recently, Fu Yaning shared a series of photos on her Instagram account, including one that raised eyebrows. The image featured a caption stating, "I have a girlfriend," leading to considerable backlash when coupled with the accompanying text.
In the caption, Yaning recounted an encounter at a coffee shop where someone expressed interest in her. Her response, "I have a girlfriend," was presented as a rejection tactic, followed by a seemingly lighthearted remark: "It's good to change my sexual orientation sometimes haha."

As the controversy gained momentum online, a growing number of netizens are urging Fu Yaning to delete the post, contending that her comments have contributed to the trivialization of sexuality.

the way she literally said “it’s nice to change my sexuality” to just reject a person and they still think it’s a “development” 😀?

sick that we keep having to say lesbianism isn’t a shield for straight girls but also it’s crazy for her to believe that the “i have a gf” lie is less likely to have her harassed than “i have a bf”… whatever world she lives in i want to be in it too! https://t.co/mKMa9fh0DQ

straight people think it's so funny to pretend being queer bc they don't know what real queer people go through every single day https://t.co/BN7LWUiRd6

her treating a sexual orientation like a costume aside, it baffles me that straight women do not realize saying that will not protect them in most cases https://t.co/VGivZz19uI
