Ongoing masterlist of articles, reports, papers, and studies about biphobia and bisexual subjectivities (I will add to this list as I gather more materials). Listed by subject matter. Starred articles indicate that this report/article/study is from outside the United States, which I have to emphasize since biphobic idiots think bisexual people have “privilege” in countries outside of the US.
Any biphobes will be instantly blocked. Also, this post isn’t for transmisogynists and transphobes, so keep your hands off.
