Pg.3- “In this parodic rendering of pre-stonewall stereotypes of lesbians, she performs her disidentificatory desire for this one topic representation.” What I think the author means by this quote in the context of the passage is that she she dissociating and moving away from her old homosexual self. In my opinion, this is also what disidentification means. To move away from something that one once identified with, believed in, or who one was as a person in general. I have experienced disidentification before. I used to identify as a shy girl who was afraid to talk during class and raise my hand. This was something I disidentified with when I moved away from home to college and started a new life. I told myself that I must change my identity and be a more social individual.
