Greedy: Notes from a Bisexual Who Wants Too Much

by Jen Winston

even on a personal level, queerness is not an end point but a practice—a process of self-interrogation to hold us accountable for growth and push us toward a better world.

Setting normativity ablaze meant creating space to start anew.

I struggle to prioritize things if I keep them to myself, and that’s especially true when said things are hard.

“Femininity is a social construct that doesn’t belong to women or men, and can be explored by anybody,” Al-Kadhi writes. “If femininity is something artificial, then biological sex shouldn’t have anything to do with performing it.”

What I do know is that my attachment to being a woman—my faith in the idea—has waned.

my sexuality has always been fluid—expansive, consuming, and impossible to contain. Bisexuality brought me here—it taught me that I can find stability in a state of flux. And I had to understand that—this

part of myself—in all its vastness before I could unpack the rest.

Make like a bisexual and stay confused for good.
