Actually, as she describes herself in JUDITH BUTLER, PHILOSOPHE EN TOUT GENRE, a documentary about her life, I believe she talks about being critically "undeclared," "undecided," or somesuch. The more of her stuff you read, the more it makes sense; if gender/sexuality is performative, then sexuality is only an accumulation of who you've been in the past, thus any declaration of "this is my sexuality" can only ever be a historically contextual thing anyway.
