Toward a dyke discourse

Abstract:
SUMMARY This essay argues the need for a dyke discourse that is a parallel project to queer theory but considers female subjectivity first and foremost and pays specific attention to desire and sexual practice as a mode of identity formation. The primary subject is the stonebutch -a queer masculine female, not a woman/not a man -and her partnered identity, the straight-appearing femme. Together, they fall out of the "woman-loving-woman" definition of lesbian, and problematize feminism's evacuation of female gender difference and assimiliationist strategies.
