I am so completely in love with the notion of a queer Irene who has a nonsexual fascination with Sherlock
See, I am in love with that too, and I am in love with the idea of the power station scene being Irene pointing out to John that you can love someone, you can effectively be a couple, even if it goes against your stated sexuality. Because he's not gay. And she is. And Sherlock is a man, and look at how they both feel!
BUT given that the entire reveal revolves around physical markers of lust, I don't think Moffat intended that reading of the scene. Which makes me want to just punch everything.
