Canadian academic Clive Thompson has referred to Causse as a "writer of radical lesbian texts."[5] In her works, she is critical of heterosexuality, stating that "as long as a woman wishes to please a man, she is inauthentic... She does not have the integrity, the un-corruptibility that comes with not wishing to please."[6]
Causse was also critical of both the Women's Movement and of the concept of a homosexual movement, stating, "I am not a feminist, I am not a homosexual, I am a radical lesbian." She believed that "the women's movement is sustained by lesbians in every country; it is a lesbian movement, profoundly lesbian."[7] She was also critical of the influence of patriarchy on lesbians, claiming that lesbians were "phallicized" in the 1980s by the male homosexual movement.[8]
In her last years, she lived in the southwest of France.[9] Causse chose to end her life on her 74th birthday, in association with Dignitas, an assisted suicide group in Switzerland.[10][11]
Although Causse had no terminal illness, she had several severe diseases.[which?]
