i am a bisexual, not tinkerbell. just because you don't believe in me doesn't mean i'm going away.
*choir of angels descends from the heavens* "bisexuality is the attraction to two or more genders and non-bisexuals need to fucking stop saying otherwise~"
I said, "What if they say they're gay?" He was gay, by the way.
He said, "Oh, in that case, we just talk about whatever they came to me for."
Amy Andre in "Nothing About Us Without Us" from her speech on problems of Physical Health in the Bisexual Community, at a bisexual roundtable on 23 September 2013 in Washington DC USA (via bialogue-group)
It's this shit right here that gets me so fucking mad at people who trivialise biphobia and monosexism by saying shit like "oh the worst you get is people thinking you are confused and greedy", as if those stereotypes has no real consequences for bisexuals.
This is a fucking therapist, a man in charge of helping people overcome mental health issues and trauma, admitting freely that he and his colleagues treat bisexuality as if it is a mental health problem and a symptom of mental disturbance to be treated and cured.
He is telling a bi woman that he does treat gay people the same way and I'm pretty sure that he doesn't treat straight folks that way, he is singling out bisexuals because he thinks there is something wrong with us identifying that way, because we are, in his mind, confused.
It makes me sick to think that he is making clients doubt and dissect their own sexuality, blamed their bisexuality for their mental state, told them that bisexuality was a symptom or something to take centre-stage over everything because he thinks it's not as natural or mentally healthy as monosexuality.
This attitude towards bisexuality is endemic to the medical health industry, especially mental health, which is already a problematic field given how much stigma is attached to mental illness.
So many times I hear bisexuals express their anger at being told by qualified therapists and doctors that they were confused, greedy and/or unstable and therefore had to jump through pointless hoops, longer and more invasive therapy sessions, or even worse, threatened with having treatment withheld or taken in a direction completely different from monosexuals because "it's all in their heads" or "just doing it for attention". All because the person in charge takes Freud a little too seriously and/or believes all the shitty stereotypes that seem ever so trivial and not worth combatting to biphobia-deniers.
And people wonder why bisexuals don't come out to health professionals? They wonder why we don't come out at all? They wonder why bisexuals have a rate of suicide and poor health way above straight and gay people?
Don't ever tell me that is trivial. Bisexuals die because of these stereotypes, they are killed by these so-called mental health professionals telling them that they need to be cured by denying themselves and are erased after death by monosexism. Fuck everyone who doesn't think that's worth caring about. (via a-little-bi-furious)
Small reminder of WHY we need out informed Bisexual People at ALL LGBT Health Conferences
I don't think the comment "bisexuals have straight privilege unless they're in lesbian relationships" makes any more sense than saying "lesbians have straight privilege while they're single". This makes the assumption that all bisexuals who are single or in opposite-sex relationships actively hide their sexual orientation.
If a gay woman keeps her sexual identity secret while she's single in order to avoid discrimination, we don't accuse her of co-opting straight privilege – we sympathize with her for feeling the need to closet herself. So why the double standard for bisexuals?
It might not apply to you, but that doesn't mean there aren't straight-looking femme lesbians, or androgynous-looking, rainbow-wearing, alternative-haircut-having bisexuals. My point is that that comment oversimplifies and overgeneralizes things in a way that seems unreasonable to me. Chandra on Autostraddle (via my-drop-is-full-of-tree-branches)

Biphobia In the Media: This Isn't a Coincidence
the word 'bisexuality' is a taboo
it isn't said on tv. orange is the new black, for example, features a bisexual protagonist who points out the biphobia at one point in assuming she can't be attracted to multiple genders, but no one Ever says the word and she is ignored and referred to as a straight girl or a lesbian depending on the situation
other bisexual characters later turn out to have been Really Monosexual All Along. or are attractive, promiscuous women with commitment issues
this isn't a coincidence.
people who are attracted to multiple genders, when asked about it, often describe themselves as "Fluid". "I'd rather not label it." "I don't need to define it." "It's just whatever." as if people are afraid of even implying the b word
this isn't a coincidence.
the word 'bisexual' gets you different reactions in different places. straight people think you're either faking for attention or a deviant. straight men are afraid of bi men and think bi women are just particularly promiscuous straight girls who want to have threesomes with them
gay men accuse bi men of being in the closet. lesbians accuse bi women of being straight girls going through a phase. and the ones who don't do either of these things still often assume bisexuals are promiscuous, indecisive, and can't settle down.
the theme throughout is that bisexually is illegitimate, deceptive, and always a front for something else.
this isn't a coincidence
people are constantly encouraged to 'settle down', to 'just pick one', to 'not be greedy'. abandon bisexuality. you're really gay. you're really straight. you're too young. how can you know you're bisexual at 16? 18? 20? 25?
this isn't a coincidence
the word 'bisexuality' is constantly, persistently manipulated, by people who aren't bisexual at all. the meaning twisted on shallow rationale. accused of being transphobic, or of being exclusionary. this has been happening for over 20 years now despite the existence of outspoken trans and/or non-binary bisexuals. whatever they can do to make you not say the word. pick a different one.
this isn't a coincidence
bisexual people - whether implied or literally, deliberately saying they are bisexual using the word - are constantly rewritten as gay or as straight. gay icon. he was never interested in men. bi actor comes out? headlines say 'came out as gay', or articles outright ignore it
it's never, ever a coincidence. bi erasure is a constant, ongoing thing.
I used to be married to a woman. Before that I had had a relationship with a man. I then had another relationship with a woman, and I since then have had relationships with men. I still would define myself as bisexual partly because that's how I feel but also because I think it's important to — I think sexuality in this country especially is seen as a very black and white thing, and I think we should encourage the gray. You know?
I don't go around in my life thinking, "Oh, my God, I'm going to have to have sex with a woman soon because I said I was bisexual!" … It's like saying you're straight or you're gay — it's just what you are, and whatever you're doing in your life it runs obviously parallel, but it's kind of secondary to how you are inside. That's how I've always felt, and I still do, even though I'm very happily married to a really amazing man and wish to be so for the rest of my life. Alan Cumming from an interview on NPR's Fresh Air (via albinwonderland)

also will take this moment to talk about how damaging the 'teenage bisexual girl phase' stigma is; it was very difficult for me to know i was queer through the ages of 13-16, and i was not comfortable discussing it for worry that it would be seen as attention seeking, just trying to stand out, just being cool, etc. it's a really really shit stigma and i think that we need to work together to stop invalidating preference development in young girls.
Bisexual in the church: A source of disruptive conversation
I came out to myself as bisexual in my late forties. It was an intensely healing moment … Throughout my loving, sustaining marriage with a man, I had occasionally felt a pull toward women. Now, in an instant of clarity, I was finally able to see myself the way God had known me all along: I am bi, capable of loving both men and women.
From that moment, peace settled in. It was easy to come out as bi to my husband, family, and friends, as well as to the congregation where I was a parish associate … Coming out to church colleagues was another matter … It wasn't same-sex attraction that worried my fellow pastors. They assumed that being bisexual meant I was being unfaithful to my husband … I assured them that I wasn't. Now they were the ones who were confused.
It was a disruptive moment for me. It laid bare the chasm between how they saw LGBT people in the church and how I do. They thought I was revealing my sexual practice. In fact, for me coming out was about sharing a newly discovered and important facet of my identity as a child of God. Many in the LGBT community view coming out as a spiritual act. It's an effort to integrate our spirituality and our sexuality, leading to wholeness.
Coming out to myself was one of the most transformative moments of my life. Aspects of my self-understanding that had been dissonant since my youth came into harmony for the first time. I had always assumed I was straight; my self-knowledge was distorted. When it finally sank in that the concept of bisexuality applies to me, it was as if my soul became clear, like a pond when the mud settles and you can see all the way to the bottom.
One of the more unfortunate themes in the history of Christian thought is the bifurcation of body and soul—a tendency that has not nurtured a healthy integration of our whole selves. In my experience, being bisexual is about far more than just physical attraction. It's about how—in my spirit—"both/and" comes more naturally into focus than "either/or" does. It's about my whole identity as a child of God…
As far as I can see, the only difference between my faithfulness in marriage and anyone else's is that I may be tempted by men and women alike … This great need in the church for disruptive, transforming conversations is why, when it seems appropriate, I come out to people as simultaneously bisexual and faithfully married to a man. This continues to prompt disruptive moments of mutual transformation.The Reverend Dr. Janet Edwards is a Presbyterian minister in Pittsburgh, PA, and a Board Member of More Light Presbyterians, a national organization working toward full inclusion of LGBT people within her church.
As a married bisexual person herself Reverend Edwards frequently writes about these subjects.
In 2008 Rev. Edwards was tried and unanimously acquitted by a church court for presiding at the wedding of two women. In June of 2014 at the the 221st General Assembly of her Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) love won the day and history was made when the Assembly voted 429 to 175 to update the language about marriage from a "man and a woman" to "two persons" in the PC(USA) constitution. And affirmed the marriages of same-sex couples.
today is bisexual awareness day. be aware of bisexuals. they are out there, and they are dangerous.

the bible said adam AND eve so i slept with them both
Well it's the Bible, not the Straightble, I'm just following the book.
Stories of Hope #4 (Being Bisexual)
Dear one year old me, when you are a year old, you'll meet your first babysitters, your God Parents, a lesbian couple. You'll never question why they are both women because you can feel the love between them; your young eyes can see the way they stare at each other. Never take them for granted because they will be there for you through everything even if you don't need them.
Dear five year old me, you'll hear the first "gay joke" that you remember, spoken from the lips of your very own grandmother, those words will fill the air around you with a toxic smoke. " " Those words will scratch themselves into your eyelids so that you can never escape, those words arranged in that sentence will always bother you, though you'll never admit.
When you are eight years old that same grandmother is going to call your God parents, dykes. She will call their love an abomination that disgusts her. At eight years old you are going to make the decision to confront her, you'll call her and tell her that her words confused you that surely loving someone can't be wrong, she'll respond with what she thinks are comforting words "It was only a joke", they will leave paper cuts on your heart, and black smoke in the air just like before.
Your eight year old self will have to bandage her heart by herself, sleep will only come once she is too tired to carry on the lullaby of sobs. You will ensure that no one else sees her shed a tear because why should she cry for someone who is so cruel.
10 years old in and grade 6 there will come a time when you'll convince yourself that your feelings for your best friend are nothing but platonic, because being gay is the worst insult on the playground. Gay is the rotting sandwich you find in your locker, or the gum that you accidentally stick your hand into when you're sitting through another boring class, gay is disgusting and unwanted.
In grade 8 when you are 12, I Kissed a Girl and I liked It will be everyone's favourite song. "It's not what good girls are supposed to do" will haunt you in the halls as ringtones go off, "You're my experimental game", will play as you slow dance at the Christmas ball with a boy you have no interest in.
In the first semester of Grade 10 everything that you were able to handle will come crashing down around you. You'll be in love with both a girl and a boy; you'll be lost because you don't even know the word bisexual, no one tried to teach you this, the only words you know are gay and straight. No one prepared you for this, so you'll try to simply pass it off as raging hormones. You'll wonder why your identity isn't easier. You're homophobic grandmother will pass away after seven years of never talking. This time you put too many bandages on and they become an impenetrable cast, you think it's protecting you but it's hurting you. You don't feel truly loved all semester.
One day when you're online you'll find the word, bisexual. Tears will begin streaming down your face because you finally understand a little about you're sexual orientation. You found a term that makes everything so much easier to understand, you like all genders, and this website will reassure you that that's okay. One night you'll be so excited that you'll tell your best friend you think you're bisexual, she lovingly accepts you with open arms. You talk about girls you both find absolutely stunning.
At the end of grade 10 you'll fall in love with Sigourney Weaver, but Chris Evans and Michael Fassbender will also occupy your thought. Things start to look better, but then you'll lose your best friend and things will start to fall apart again because you are alone, you'll live the next year living in fear that she might let your secret slip. You don't want to be the gum on the underside of the desk, again.
Somehow you make it through all of this, congratulations. In grade 11 you sneak away from your lunch break, a group of people who will become your closest friends convince you too go. You take the long way around so no one sees and go to your first Gay-Straight Alliance meeting. I'm not going to spoil this year because it will be the start of what just happens to be the best years of your high school career. Every time a friend brings up the pictures of women on your phone you'll mask it by saying you liked their hair styles. You're still too afraid of being the moldy sandwich, so you say nothing of your bisexuality.
In Grade 12, you're going to be sitting in a parking lot and you'll tell your father that you think, you might be, maybe, just a little, bisexual. He'll smile at you. Later that night you'll tell your mom, neither of them makes a big fuss, a simple hug and that's it, you're off doing homework in your room. People still make comments about bisexuality not being real but that doesn't hurt as much. I've got friends who really care about me and I care about me. You will learn to care about yourself. Don't give up, people love you.

we're here, we're queer and we're a lot more valid in our anger than you'd like to admit
1. Thinking about the people you've been attracted to, so far in your life, were they all of the same gender?
If you answered "No", to any or all of the questions in our list above then we feel it's okay for you to call yourself bisexual.
- Am I Bisexual? (The Bisexual Index)
I like the way this is phrased. "We feel it's okay for you to call yourself bisexual". Not "you are bisexual" because that takes away your agency in deciding whether that is true for you or not. A lot of "how to figure out your sexuality" guides do that, and I've always hated it. So it's good to see this. (via jadelyn)
It's also very easy to understand, gently humorous but right on point. Too many places make such a deal! over-complicating and dramatizing everything. When really, it's not. Once that "aha!" moment passes, it quickly becomes everyday, very much yes whatever and essentially boringly normal. Which is exactly as it should be.
(Source: thatmadgirl)
Writing off the word "bisexual" as exclusionary means cutting ties with bisexuals who were romantically and sexually involved with people of more than two genders decades before we were even born, and whom were forced to struggle and fight for recognition, only to now be othered as oppressors who aren't "queer enough" for young gays, lesbians, and pansexuals.
Part of a Very Long History of hetero (& homo) normative cisgender monosexuals ignoring anything actual bisexual people had to say for and about themselves, inventing amazingly screwy definitions and creating new terms (i.e. ambisexual in 1912, omnisexual in 1959, pansexual in 1917, etc., etc., etc.) that they then imposed on bisexual people no matter what we said.
The question is, do they think that by slicing, dicing and redefining us, bisexuals will actually go away forever?
Or are we just supposed to get confused & discouraged and go away long enough for them to use our statistics and numbers while they scoop up all the grant funding, jobs, tenured teaching positions, groups and programs and other goodies?

In addition, the researchers showed that brain tissue from Alzheimer's patients could also inhibit the growth of the potentially harmful yeast. The more beta amyloid in the tissue, the more effective it was against the yeast. Tissue from the brains of people without Alzheimer's did not have the same effect.
A New Piece of the Alzheimer's Puzzle?
Certain infections (Chlamydia pneumoniae and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1) are linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer's. Brain injury, stroke and surgery or anesthesia are also linked to increased risk. This new report suggests that producing beta amyloid might be a normal response to these conditions or events, and may explain how and why they are linked to the increased risk of Alzheimer's.
Most Alzheimer's research assumes that beta amyloid is generated by an abnormal or accidental process, and is toxic in nature. But some researchers, including Craig Atwood at the University of Wisconsin, have speculated that the protein could be protective in some situations. This new report will no doubt add to that speculation.
"This finding stands in stark contrast to current models of AB [beta amyloid]-Mediated pathology and has important implications for ongoing and future AD [Alzheimer's disease] treatment strategies," the report's authors write.
Beta Amyloid Might Be Normal, But Not Necessarily Good
Even if the production of beta amyloid is normal, that doesn't mean a lot of it is good for the brain," said Dr. Robert Moir, Assistant Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and one of the senior authors of the report. "My work does not say amyloid does not cause the neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer's disease," he pointed out in an email. "If you are developing large numbers of plaques, you are on your way to dementia. It does suggest that amyloid and its deposition may have a useful function and be a normal response – at least in the short term. Long term continued activation of this system still looks like it leads to disease."
Clues for New Prevention and Treatment Strategies
Dr. Moir and his colleagues plan further studies to confirm that beta amyloid fights bacteria and other disease-causing organisms, and to try to understand the sequence of reactions of the immune system involved in the production of beta amyloid. These reactions could be targeted by scientists to develop potential treatments. In addition, prevention efforts focused on avoiding infections, brain injuries, strokes and other factors that could trigger the immune response could be stepped up.
Relation to the Search for Alzheimer's Genes
This research was funded by the Cure Alzheimer's Fund, an organization formed to try to find genes associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's, understand how those genes increase that risk, and develop treatments based on those findings. So if infection and the immune system are involved, is there less of a role for genes? Is the search for "Alzheimer's genes" worthwhile?
"I think most of the 'if you have this gene you will definitely get Alzheimer's' genes have probably been found, although I might be wrong!" said Dr. Moir. But that doesn't mean that genetic research isn't useful. "At the very least, it is highly likely that efforts will lead to identification of genes that increase your risk for Alzheimer's disease – either by increasing risk for infection and/or lowering the sensitivity threshold for triggering the response that leads to Alzheimer's," he said. "Other mechanisms may also emerge. "
At the end of his email, Dr. Moir makes a plea for increased funding for Alzheimer's research. "Alzheimer's funding has nearly halved in the last six years," he wrote. "Per patient, it receives much less than other disorders that kill a lot fewer people. Alzheimer's recently moved into 6th place as a leading cause of death in the U.S., and is steadily moving up the ranks. More money = faster progress – it's as simple as that."

Over the years, I have heard a lot of people say a lot of daft things about creativity. Some of those things, I hear again and again. What's worse, a lot these daft notions – or myths – about creativity are detrimental to the creative process. So, let's end this once and for all. Below are 10 creative myths. If you share these with everyone in the world, these myths will go away.
1. "I am not creative"
2. "That's a stupid [or daft, or silly, or ridiculous] idea"
3. "Creative people always have great ideas"
4. "Constructive criticism will help my colleague improve her idea."
5. "We need some new marketing ideas for the upcoming product launch.
Let's get the marketing people together and brainstorm ideas."
6. "In order for our innovation strategy to be a success, we need
a system of review processes for screening ideas and determining which ideas
to implement."
7. "That's a good idea. Let's run with it"
8. "Drugs will help me be more creative"
9. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
10. "I don't need a notebook. I always remember my ideas"

Just My Tuppence: Brogue
"Oh," I thought. "This looks different…"
I had just embarked upon a new Roguelike adventure. On a whim, I had renewed my acquaintance with the rec.games.roguelike.announce newsgroup for the first time in an epoch, and lurking within were announcements relating to the usual long-standing suspects – epic saga ToME, fast-paced DoomRL, Rogue-with-mechs GearHead, classic Angband and its variants, and many others. But there were also lots of unfamiliar names, a testimony to the rate at which the Roguelike scene has expanded over recent times. Looking down the list, something drew me toward Brogue by Brian Walker – was it the clever name or the enigmatically plain description? Or was it just the fact it had an unusually solid-looking version number of 1.6? It's impossible to say. Further investigation was required!
I was looking at a typical ASCII dungeon of hash signs and dots. But this dungeon had colour, variety, and life - not the usual console window of decidedly 8-colour visuals. Yes, yes – not judging a book by its cover is all well and good, but there's no harm in making a good first impression, is there?
"Cool – there's plants that block my vision. Let's try walking through them. Oh, they grow back! Perfect for hiding in! Neat. Wait up, what's that over there? Oh hello there, mouse control – this takes me back to playing Larn on the Amiga!" Good first impressions indeed. But there was plenty more to surprise me…
