    • 1982 April 24, Lisa Orlando, “Let Bi Girls Be Bi Girls”, in Gay Community News, page 4:
      I'm ambivalent about being called a girl. I suspect that at least some of our dislike of this term is related to the systematic and brutal oppression of young people […] Why — except that we are adultist are we so insulted by being called young?
