This book draws on interviews with women who left relationships
with women to begin relationships with men, and uncovers how the
women make sense of who they are. The women who leave female
partners to begin relationships with male partners have the
capacity to redefine their sexual identity. They can essentially
call themselves whatever they want. However, their capacity for
such a creative process is limited. In the process of framing their
decision in a way that renders their claim to a stable identity
legitimate, the women communicate their understandings of notions
of identity, community, and belonging. The women also show a
nuanced regard for sexual categories. They stretch the boundaries
of some categories, while preserving and even policing the
boundaries of other categories. This book is in no way an ex-gay
narrative. It is entirely the voices of feminist, queer women who
find themselves viewed by society as heterosexual, but who
themselves, with two exceptions, do not identify as such. This book
is a rich collection of wonderfully human stories about what it
means to be "true" to oneself.
