Abstract
This paper is part of a project that involves creating an experientially based bisexual women's standpoint which is intended as a tool for social and political critique. This discussion develops one aspect of the standpoint, the act of defining bisexuality for the self. The women in this study understood bisexuality to be about removing barriers and getting out of confining, claustrophobic places. There was a distinct lack of rules for membership here and a resistance to policing the boundaries of their identity category. Through narratives like the “continuum talk,” they both produced themselves as subjects and strategically located themselves in relationship to heterosexual women and their lesbian neighbors in the cultural landscape. The political implications of this agent-driven position and its attempt to stand apart from either/or notions of sexuality are taken up in the conclusion of this paper.
