'From the statistical nebula, from the molar entirety of men-women loves, there emerge the two accursed and guilty series that bear witness to the same castration with two nonsuperimposable sides, the Sodom series and the Gomorrah series, each one excluding the other.
This is not all, however, since the vegetal theme -- the innocence of flowers -- brings us yet another message and another code: everyone is bisexual, everyone has two sexes, but partitioned, noncommunicating; the man is merely the one in whom the lake part, and the woman the one in whom the female part, dominates statistically. So that at the level of elementary combinations,. at least two men and two women must be made to intervene to constitute the multiplicity in which transverse communications are established -- connections of partial objects and flows: the male part of a man can communicate with a female part of a woman, but also with the male part of a woman, or the female part of another man, or yet again with the male part of the other man, etc. Here all guilt ceases, for it cannot cling to such flowers as these. In contrast to the alternative of the "either/or" exclusions, there is the "either....or....or" of the combinations
and permutations where the differences amount to the same without ceasing to be differences.
We are statistically or molarly heterosexual, but personally homosexual, without knowing it or being aware of it, and finally we are transsexual in an elemental, molecular sense.
That is why Proust, the first to deny all oedipalizing interpretations of his own interpretations, contrasts two kinds of homosexuality, or rather two regions only one of which is Oedipal, exclusive, and depressive, the other being anoedipal schizoid, included, and inclusive: "For some, doubtless those (whose childhoods were timid [italics]) the material kind of pleasure they take does no matter, so long as they can (relate it to a male countenance [it.])
While others, whose sensuality is doubtless more violent, give their material pleasure certain imperious localizations. The second group would shock most people by their avowals. They live perhaps less under Saturn's satellite, for in their case women are not entirely excluded....But those in the second group seek out women who prefer women, women who suggest young men....indeed, they can take, with such women, the same pleasure as with a man....For in their relations with women, , they play -- for the woman who prefers women -- the role of another woman, and at the same time a woman offers them approximately what they find in a man'
