The Bi icons session and the bi research talks are now available on @bisexualscience's YouTube channel!
Now I know what I'll be doing this weekend: watching all the sessions I wasn't able to attend during the live conference.
VÝZKUM BISEXUALITY - BISEXUALITY RESEARCH
V České Republice je výzkum bisexuality prakticky neexistující. To jsem se rozhodla změnit a proto jsem se ve své bakalářské práci zabývala coming outem bisexuálních žen. V současné době pracuji na magisterské diplomové práci, kde tohle téma dále rozvíjím. Pro tento účel jsem vytvořila dotazník zaměřující se na hlavní oblasti bisexuálního coming outu.
Pokud chcete pomoci podpořit výzkum bisexuality v České Republice a jste žena (cis, trans) 18+, která se identifikuje jako bisexuální, udělejte si prosím 10 minut čas na vyplnění tohoto dotazníku.
Dotazník je plně anonymní. Veškeré informace v něm uvedené budu zpracovávat pouze za účelem výzkumu.
Pokud dotazník vyplnit nemůžete nebo nechcete ale rádi byste pomohli, můžete tento příspěvek sdílet na svém tumblr blogu.
V případě jakýchkoliv dotazů nebo připomínek se na mě neváhejte obrátit na emailu uvedeném v úvodní části dotazníku nebo tady ve zprávách.
Moc děkuji za pomoc!
The research on bisexuality in Czech Republic is practically nonexistent. I decided to change that and that’s why I studied coming out of bisexual women in my bachelor thesis. Now for my masters I am continuing with that. I prepared a questionaire for this purpose that covers the main aspects of bisexual coming out.
If you want to help but you’re not czech speaking bisexual woman please reblog this post for your czech followers.
If you have any questions or suggestions you can email me on the address stated in the introduction part of the questionaire or message me directly here on tumblr.
Thank you for you help!
The piece of research – conducted by YouGov for the 30th anniversary edition of British GQ – quizzed a range of men from different ages, sexual orientations, backgrounds, and professions.
By Wendy Bostwick I am, yet again, flooded with anxiety as I prepare for my talk. How long have I been doing this? How often have I talked about bisexual women’s health, cataloging the list of poor outcomes and traumas? The ways in which the denial of our very existence does profound damage? And why […]
I'm really excited to share this article from the latest issue of Bi Women Quarterly for #BiHealthMonth
Wendy Bostwick shares her reflections on working the past twenty years as a bisexual bisexual researcher. Here's an excerpt:
"I talk often about the high rates of depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidality, sexual abuse, and assault, all of which occur at the highest rates among bisexual women. These issues are not abstract or hypothetical to me. I am what I study. And while I personally am privileged to have the support I need (shout out to all my therapists! And Xanax!), I cannot repeat this laundry list of numbers and devastating statistics without taking up and taking in the sheer terribleness of what I’m aggregating and re-telling. Behind all those numbers are people. Innumerable harms and sorrows, which with every recitation wear away at whatever protective coating I may have once had. Which wend themselves in, around and through my nervous system. The truth hurts. And the pain is real."
Gay and lesbian people report poorer well-being than straight counterparts – but the results are worse for bisexual people
This builds on a number of other studies showing the same pattern: lgb people generally are worse off than straight people, and bisexual people experience the worst health disparities.
Also a reminder: it can feel discouraging when we see findings like these because they can feel like having poor mental health is inevitable. But actually, the more studies like this that come out the more people will hear and believe and care about us, and hopefully support funding for bi-inclusive resources.
“If LGBT and health organisations are failing to tell the difference between gay and bisexual men, they are failing one of the very subgroups they are sworn to protect.”
Was there a published paper for that research you mentioned in which bi people's faces were rated less likeable than gay or straight people's? If there is one I'd love to read it.
It’s not published yet but I’ll let y’all know as soon as I hear that it’s out!
In the meantime, this is a paper from the same lab about facial categorization based on orientation. Basically people tend to categorize faces as straight or non-straight, so when they see bi people they’re significantly more likely to categorize them as bi or gay than as straight (again disproving the idea of straight passing privilege, because people may not be able to tell whether we’re gay or bi, but they know we’re not straight).
