The backlash against Cynthia Nixon is ridiculous. If anything, her take on sexual identity is far more critical and complex than the theories of biological determinism that incite her opponents to castigate her. “Born this Way” is a sham. Could I be happy and straight? No. Am I sexually attracted to women, even in the slightest? No. Do I believe Nixon’s bisexual and currently chooses to be with a female? Yes. These arguments aren’t mutually exclusive. Critiques of Nixon’s statement say more about the simplicity of her detractors’ understanding of sexual identity than they do about Nixon’s investment in LBGTQ politics. FTR, post-structuralists have been vocalizing Nixon’s claims about identity for the past 50 years.
