What is the difference between this "knowledge" and other "knowledges," i.e. how is the "knowledge" that "heterosexuality is not an urge" different from the "knowledge" that "heterosexuality is an urge". It can't be, can it, that it is the product of "freedom of the will" undetermined by "regulative discourses," "frameworks of intelligibility," "disciplinary regimes" since it must itself be determined by "regulative discourses," "frameworks of intelligibility," "disciplinary regimes"?
