Making Space for Bi+ Identities: Explorations of Genders, Identities, and Relationships

How do bi+ people navigate identity, gender, and relationships in a biphobic society? This book explores this question to show how to better include and incorporate bi+ people in research, policy, and the everyday.

You can expect this book to explore how bi+ people experience the gender binary, healthcare, sex, flirting, media representation, and research. It soon becomes clear that bi+ people have different needs and experiences than heterosexual, lesbian, and gay people, and so need specific inclusion measures. Further, the research explores bi+ people’s nuanced approaches to understanding gender, sexuality, sex, and flirting.

This book will be of interest to anyone, whether bi+, a student, a researcher, a policymaker, or a health worker, looking to develop their understanding of bi+ identities and needs. It will also be of relevance to people interested in a broad range of topics, including sexuality, gender, feminism, trans and non binary identities, LGBTQ+ topics, and everyday sociology.
