Fair warning

waidSo I have long been dreading what Moffat might do with The Woman. I have lately been told that he has made her a lesbian dominatrix. If this is true, I am going to destroy everything in the world and I thought you might want to know in advance.
(Obviously, all for representation of queer characters but not as oh! She's so out there and exotic and alarming with her scary, scary, sexy, sexy sexuality! No wonder she rattles Sherlock! Never mind her brain, who wouldn't be rattled by a LESBIAN who HITS PEOPLE. And really, you've got to make the brilliant opera-singing "adventuress" an actual prostitute, Moffat? You've got to locate her power in her sex and focus it with a whip in her hand? There's no other way a hyper-talented woman's life might have gone in the 21st Century?)
Hopefully, no, he hasn't. I honestly dare not search for confirmation or refutation.
Maybe it's just a disguise. IT'S JUST A DISGUISE, RIGHT.
UPDATE:
It's true.
UPDATE 2Not only true, not only is she a lesbian, but she is attracted to Sherlock anyway, she spends a lot of screen-time naked and is employed by and terrified of Moriarty. I don't know a way to be more disgusted and upset. So she's a sex object, straight-for-Sherlock, and a subordinate to a man like every other woman who has ever been on Sherlock
I already disliked this show but I now honestly feel like it's punched me in the stomach.
