I'm attracted to female-bodied persons.

I could attempt to identity all the reasons and circumstances as to why it is that I am, usually somewhat masked,  intensely attracted to female-bodied persons.

But this is just a blog post.

     Adrienne Rich defines the lesbian continuum as that which embraces "many more forms of primary intensity between and among women, including the sharing of a rich inner life, the bonding against male tyranny, the giving and receiving of practical and political support".  Rich's "lesbian continuum" embraces not only lesbian but also heterosexual women, who are conceptualized not as part of a hierarchical binary but as part of a continuum.  Rich's continuum also includes female bonding against homophobic tendencies in some of the feminist movements.
