This article examines representations of lesbian nonsexuality in the film The Kids Are All Right and in responses to the film by feminist and queer scholars. In some moments, the film offers a limited endorsement of lesbian nonsexuality, placing pressure on the category lesbian to include nonsexuality and asexuality. However, in their responses to the film, many feminist and queer scholars rejected nonsexuality as an aspect of lesbian experience, placing pressure on the category lesbian to exclude nonsexual and asexual women. Asexual activism challenges scholars to question their sex-normative commitments and to keep the category lesbian open and flexible.
本文探讨了电影《孩子们都很好》中女同性恋无性取向的呈现，以及女权主义和酷儿理论学者对该电影的回应。在某些时刻，这部电影对女同性恋无性取向给予了有限的认可，给女同性恋这一类别施加压力，使其纳入无性取向和无性欲状态。然而，在对这部电影的回应中，许多女权主义和酷儿理论学者拒绝将无性取向视为女同性恋经历的一个方面，给女同性恋这一类别施加压力，将无性欲和无性取向的女性排除在外。无性恋激进主义促使学者们质疑他们对性规范的承诺，并使女同性恋这一类别保持开放和灵活。
