Bisexual agonistes
Bazima interviews New York queer rights activist Chris Hampton, who defends her cred thusly:
You know, my career is in LGBT civil rights activism, I'm culturally very queer, I'm good at cunnilingus, and my relationships with women have been just as dysfunctional as those I've had with men, so what's the fucking problem?!
Meanwhile in the same city, busy author Rachel Kramer Bussel (she said she was bi in 2002) says, "Sometimes I wish I had an off button for my brain."
And closer to home, Violet Blue says, "I'm fascinated and repulsed and filled with dread and loathing by Scientology; when I found out Beck was a glassy-eyed cult follower I deleted all his music from my iPod and iTunes." But most of her entry is about blowjobs and handjobs, not Scientology porn. (Shudder! What would that be like?)

I know a lot of conscious, politically right-on, caring bi-women are confounded by how they are responded to by lesbians. (I was one once, heh.)
Food for thought: An exclusive focus on women can be an erotic factor in itself.
I don't argue with my body's responses, though I always continue to explore them, and bi women, as a general rule, just don't turn me on that much. :-(
I don't really know how to explain that. It's not a political exclusion or a "trust issue", for me. Bi-identified, actively bisexual women just don't get me as hot or keep me as hot, sexually and romantically, as women whose focus is exclusively other women.
