"... the only place for love to be found is for the ostensibly repudiated object, where love is understood to be strictly produced through a logic of repudiation; hence, drag is nothing but the effect of love embittered by disappointment or rejection, the incorporation of the Other whom one originally desired, but now hates.  And lesbianism is nothing other than the effect of love embittered by disappointment and rejection, and of a recoil from that love, a defense against it or, in the case of butchness, the appropriation of the masculine position that one originally loved."
