摘要：I’m coming out as a bisexual, queer, feminist, monogamist, social scientist. Watch what happens if I change the look of the sentence: I’m a/bi/sexual/queerfeminist/monogam/ist-academic I am: bi sexual queer-feminist Mo(nag)m ist academic Though I’m still working the hyphens and run-ons, I’m not as evolved as two Facebook friends who choose polyamorous and pansexual. The most interesting thing to me today is that I don’t write anything in my own status update, not even a haiku about my mental crush on Jennifer Baumgardner who writes things about bisexuality like, “It doesn’t imply abnormal flux as opposed to normal fixed identity, but rather a human being’s singular and emotional evolution” (52). I just click the “Like” button for others’ coming out declarations. Why can’t I finish this essay about being queer, sketching out the places and times I feel disconnects between my personal labels and imperfect enactments of them? I’m wedged into the crevice of an identity gap, stuck in the winter of fieldwork, as M. Christina González would call it (Faulkner and Hecht).
