Yesterday was International Celebrate Bisexuality Day, and I did a little thread in honour of it! with a few things I've written in the past on bi themes.

For anyone interested, a link to the top of the thread:

Continuing the bi theme for the day...

"Bi identity: obstacles and paths"

It's a talk I did back in 2006. I didn't have my blog yet, but I _had_ figured out how to make illustrations in some kind of graphics program :-)

"No-one really knows how many bisexual people there are in the world. But what we _do_ know is that lots of bisexual behaviour goes on without the people ever calling themselves bi."

Old low-res graphic of a cartoon iceberg. The little bit above the water is labelled "bi identity". The big chunk below the water is labelled "bisexual behaviour".

Here's another link for International Celebrate Bisexuality Day...

"Three levels of bi erasure"

It's my attempt to put into "ordinary language" some of Kenji Yoshino's very useful analytical essay, "The Epistemic Contract of Bi Erasure".

Featuring a little cartoon by me, where the bi stick-person comes out to their somewhat judgemental stick-person friend :-)

Oh and one more useful tag for this thread: #BiVisibilityDay!

A hand holding an eraser begins to rub out the word "bi" from the words "lesbian, gay, bi or straight". The rubber is labelled "Bi Erasure". "Lesbian, gay, bi" are written in rainbow colours, and the hand and eraser are grey.

Another video resource for International Celebrate Bisexuality Day: a bisexuality information talk which I gave for London's LGBT Switchboard at the end of 2021.

If you run any kind of LGBT organisation, and want to be more friendly to bi people, this would be a good resource to bookmark! and have available for sharing with your staff and volunteers.

23 mins long. The blog post says a bit more about what it includes.

More for International Celebrate Bisexuality Day...

For people who like video, here's a cheerful little celebratory speech by me from 2015.

"Visibility and celebration"

Under 7 minutes, including a snippet of @SingleBass music at the end, from the song "Neither".

Photo of a smiley white person with short hair, wearing a purple shirt, holding a little Psion computer (which had the speech written on it). The background is Nottingham's Robin Hood statue, with a bi flag and rainbow bunting draped over it. The photo has a label "International Celebrate Bisexuality Day, Nottingham 2015".

Another link in honour of International Celebrate Bisexuality Day!

"Bisexuality: integrated, stable, peaceful"

Reflections on metaphors for bisexuality. Why do so many of them include ideas of movement and fluidity, when for me, bisexuality is about belonging from the start on all the territory there is, and not having to worry about it any more?

I'm not moving - I arrived already :-)

uncharted-worlds.org/blog/2011

#bisexual #ICBD #LGBT #LGBTQ

A quote from the blog post: Part of what it means to me to identify as bi is this: If one day I feel attraction to a woman, I don’t have to think “Does this mean I’m gay?!”, or “If this carried on would it mean I was a Lesbian?!” If one day I feel attraction to a man, I don’t have to think “Does this mean I’m not gay after all?!” or “If this carries on, at what point do I lose the right to call myself Lesbian?!” If one day I feel attraction to someone who identifies as neither binary gender, I don’t have to think “What does this mean about me?!” (or indeed “Where does this person fit in my model?”) None of that noise exists in my life. As far as gender-linked sexuality is concerned, there isn’t some territory over here where I’m officially supposed to walk, and some territory over there where I’m not supposed to walk. It’s all one whole, and I already live there. This feels peaceful to me. (End of quote.) Behind the quote from the post, in pale mauve cursive text, is a quote from the title: "Integrated, stable, peaceful".

Today is "International Celebrate Bisexuality Day"!

also sometimes known as "Bi Visibility Day".

also nicknamed by me "stop erasing bi people day", as choices to erase us are what create the so-called bi invisibility!

I plan to share a few posts in honour of the day :-)

so to kick off, here is one with my little rant on that:

"Stop erasing bi people". Background is part of a bi flag: pink, purple, blue.
