요약 | Essentialist models of sexual identity development have dominated social discourse and public opinion since the 1980s. This perspective posits that sexual orientation is an intrinsic, core identity that has roots in specific biological factors. Based on this perspective it is assumed that a person's sexuality will manifest in a linear fashion throughout the life course. Notably, this model positions individuals with same-sex sexual attractions and behaviors as specific "types" of people. While this perspective has become largely institutionalized in public opinion, within academic research on sexual orientation, there has been little consensus on the veracity of this model. Specifically, the recent impact of varied theoretical perspectives including social constructionism and queer theory has complicated the acceptance of the essentialist model within academia and has led researchers to call for the development of alternative models of sexual identity development that challenge reductionist assertions.In light of challenges to traditional frameworks, in this study I highlight experiences that have thus far been largely ignored in academic research on sexual identity. In particular, this study approaches the topic of women's sexual identity from a fundamentally queer theoretical perspective, recognizing the potential for fluidity in identities that are often reduced to biology. Specifically, I investigate the experiences of women who at one point in their lives identified as lesbians, but later engaged in relationships with either cisgender or transgender men in order to understand what their experiences can tell us about the nuances of women's sexual identity. Utilizing a dynamic systems theoretical approach, I posit variability and erotic plasticity as cornerstones of women's sexual identity development. |
