Status Updates From Lesbian Death: Desire and D...

“I reposition the anxiety around the death of the lesbian as an anxiety around the loss of whiteness in defining lesbian legibility rather than an effect of queers antifoundationalist communities.” DAMN

Put more simply, it is entirely possible for the abnegated self of Bersani's suicidal bottom to pick up, dust off, and return to the everyday as a coherent masculine self. The lesbian, and especially butches and femmes, by contrast, must negotiate the multiple selves that are differently interpolated in social contexts.

“Political lesbianism is not sexuality in the identitarian or even practice-based sense. This does not mean, however, that it is simply an affiliative choice. Neither does it mean that political lesbians were not fucking or that fucking was not a part of their politics. But fucking may not mean sex; they were fucking off and fucking shit up.”

“Lesbianism is political because sexuality is political, gender is political, and rejecting the social demands to be legible within these categories is also political.”
