Even More Persistent Bi Myths, Busted
Audio
Video
We’re busting more bi+ myths with clear, practical answers: identity vs politics, the “prove it” trap, couples seeking women on apps, ageing and labels, and why health gaps are about stigma—not sexuality. Plus Rainbow Election Forum takeaways, Qtopia’s Sydney Pride Fest news, and a moving tribute to Heidi.
Key takeaways
You don’t owe anyone a dating résumé. Your identity isn’t up for audit.
“Queer” can feel political; “bisexual” can be a simple description—both are valid.
App dynamics are shaped by culture and numbers—don’t scapegoat bi+ people.
Bisexuality doesn’t disappear with age; safety, language, and context shift.
Bi mental-health gaps are driven by stigma and minority stress, not by being bi.
