Varies. Lisa Diamond found that women changed in all directions over time, for example, from lesbian to bisexual, from bisexual to lesbian, and from lesbian to heterosexual. These findings contradict the idea of a fixed sexual identity, at least for some individuals.

Although many women have a sexual orientation that is fixed and stable across their lives, others find their orientation and attractions shifting over time.
