Wittig's "straight mind"

 
Preciado uses "the straight mind"--"an expression developed by Monique Wittig in the 1980s to designate heterosexuality"--to refer not to a "sexual practice" but rather to a "political regime"
 
this regime "guarantees the structural relationship between the production of sexual identity and the production of certain body parts (to the detriment of others) as reproductive organs"
