My bisexuality is part of the expression of the flexibility, the changeability of my spirit that feels essential and precious to the center of my life.

The west has fiscalised its basic power relationships through a web of contracts, loans, shareholdings, bank holdings and so on. In such an environment it is easy for speech to be "free" because a change in political will rarely leads to any change in these basic instruments.
