If we're saying, 'No, we're not confused; no, we're not promiscuous; no, we're not greedy,' then we accept that it's wrong to be confused, it's wrong to be greedy, it's wrong to be promiscuous. And I want to ask, why do we have to work by their rules?
The problem isn't promiscuity- it's patriarchy, which vilifies sex and dismisses non-monogamy. The issue isn't confusion- it's binaries, which encourages us to make finite decisions (usually between two constructs that we never got to choose in the first place). The problem isn't being greedy- it's that systems function better when we don't demand what we deserve.
As it turns out I'm not straight. I am not gay. The only thing I am is a threat. Because now I understand that bisexuality isn't just an identity- it's a lens through which to reimagine our world. This book is about desire- sexual desire, yes, but also the desire to exist beyond the strict boxes that social expectations try to put us in.
