This paper uses the paradigmatic pairing of non-binary and lesbian as identity labels to investigate changes in conceptualizations of sexual specificity as gender becomes divorced from its founding binaries. Contrary to the belief that lesbian is threatened by movement away from binary gender, this analysis postulates that it is not individual identities that are becoming problematic as gender identity becomes less binary; rather, it is the fundamental structure of identity which, for decades, has sanctioned identities built on exclusions. This cultural shift has the potential to liberate structures of desire, giving way to a model in which sexuality without gender is more redemptive than contentious.

本文使用非二进制和女同性恋的范式配对作为身份标签来研究随着性别从其创立二进制文件中脱离出来而引起的对性别特异性概念的改变。与认为女同性恋者受到远离二元性别运动的威胁相反，该分析假设并不是随着性别身份变得二元化而使个人身份成为问题的。而是几十年来，基于身份的基本结构批准了基于排他性的身份。这种文化上的转变有可能解放欲望的结构，而让一种模式成为一种模式，在这种模式下，没有性别的性欲更能救赎，而不是有争议的。
