This is all:

Becoming lesbian, if I can put it this way, is thus no longer or not simply a question of being lesbian, of identifying with that being known as a lesbian, of residing in a position or identity. The question is not am I – or are you – a lesbian but, rather, what kinds of lesbian connections, what kinds of lesbian-machine, we invest our time, energy, and bodies in, what kinds of sexuality we invest ourselves in, with what other kinds of bodies, with what bodies of our own, and with what effects? What is it that together, in parts and bits and interconnections, we can make that is new, that is exploratory, that opens up further spaces, produces further intensities, speeds up, enervates, and proliferates production (production of the body, production of the world)?

Refiguring Lesbian Desire
