"When people like me say "sexuality is socially constructed", this is what we mean: the translation of sexual activity into sexual identity is historically and culturally contingent, not natural and necessary."
What confuses me is the need to build an identity around an act. Sometimes I am inspired to make love to a woman; sometimes to a man. So what? Why do we have to construct an ideology, or an identity, or anything out of that?
This is not pretended obtuseness; it's a real question.
