“Coming out appeals to the narcissistic pleasure of presenting to another a finished image of ourselves, which they return⟳ to us in exactly the same form⟳: [someone tells] you [they are] a bisexual butch, and you confirm⟳ it. But instead, it seems all too likely – especially, perhaps, for bisexuals, whose claims to identity always need⟳ that much more proof – that no such mirror-image will be returned.”
