Bi+ people make up more than 50% of the LGBTQ community. Yet bi+ people can often experience isolation and invisibility--even from each other.
Getting Bi addresses this by collecting 220 personal essays from 185 bi+ authors from 42 countries (from Australia to Zimbabwe).
This book is a safe haven where bi people are celebrated and understood. Bi+ readers will feel comforted, heartened, nourished, and validated. You will find yourself nodding in agreement as you read. You will laugh at relatable experiences. You will receive validation about lived experiences you thought were unique to you. This book is a lifeline to those struggling. You will feel hope and a sense of relief. You will realize that, no matter how isolated as you are, you are not alone.
You will hear many stories (which the mainstream leaves out) on the joys of being bisexual.
Authors discuss their potential to be attracted--romantically and/or sexually--to people with genders similar to and different from their own. They describe liking, having feelings for, and falling in love with others. Many relate their identity to knowing who they desire, are interested in, and have crushes on. Therefore, many knew who they were bi long before they started dating. Others may never date more than one gender, but accept being bi as crucial to who they are.
Each author questioned and subsequently arrived at a greater understanding of their sexuality. So these stories are helpful for anyone undergoing an identity exploration.
Authors also bare their souls while processing feelings of anger, angst, doubt, fear, frustration, guilt, sadness, shame, and just being uncomfortable.
This book explores many common struggles of bi+ people:
Instead of - or in addition to - trying to fit into potentially less-inclusive LGBTQ+ groups, these authors show that you can seek out and become a member of your own bi+ community which proudly waves its own bi flag.
For those who do not yet have bisexual friends, this book offers a peek inside your own community. Reading about others is a great first step to being a part of a supportive and accepting bisexual culture. It will likely inspire you to network, find allies, and build a strong supportive social circle.
You will learn about bi+ community leaders, activists, and conferences advocating for the interests of bisexual people. You will learn about bi people who, over the decades, have been organizing movements to fight for social justice, equality, and the rights of each one of us.
Drawing from so many different people who have many decades of reflection, you can't help but leave with a deeper understanding and eye-opening epiphanies.
It will make you feel empowered and inspired to exercise your freedom of expression. It will give you more courage because of what others, like you, have done

This book explores many common struggles of bi+ people:
- Authors describe dealing with external (or internalized) oppression of all types: biases, biphobia, bi-erasure, heterosexism, homophobia, stereotypes, myths, and general negativity.
- Authors describe repeatedly being told they are 'confused' or 'going through a phase.'
- Authors describe their struggles with labels. Many get creative and create new terms for themselves or use none at all (demonstrating the broad possibilities of self-identification).
- Authors describe the fatigue of having to come out, not once, but over and over again.
- Authors describe monosexual partners (and potential partners) who are insecure, feel inadequate, and fearful about dating bi people.
- Authors describe seeking refuge in the larger LGBTQ+ community only to realize it may not the safe haven they hoped for. After joining organizations, they have found the 'B' in the LGBT to be in name only (despite all that bi+ people have contributed to the movement).
Instead of - or in addition to - trying to fit into potentially less-inclusive LGBTQ+ groups, these authors show that you can seek out and become a member of your own bi+ community which proudly waves its own bi flag.

A refreshing record of bi voices from around the world.
2022Amazonで購入
The book is a series of interviews with Bi popped from around the world. And that is what I liked about it because it is not as many books are mired only in the West. It shows how Bis aren't all the same and the extracts from the interview or quotes taken from their submissions are short they are succinct. It is a great way to look at characters and have a chance to listen to them tell their stories. A well-researched book.

A Wonderful Collection of Personal Stories and Provocative Ideas
2013Amazonで購入
For those who wonder what bisexuality is or what it's all "about," this book is a great place to begin. It includes personal stories, reflections, and reminiscences of what it means to be and identify as bisexual. Our culture not only privileges heterosexuality but also monosexuality, the idea that an individual can/should only be attracted to one gender. The stories in this collection oppose that belief and provide a rich tapestry of experience to show how complex and beautiful intimate attraction can be. Bisexuality is not just a simple matter of being attracted to "both sexes," though it is often understood that way and is at times accused of reinforcing binary thinking about gender and sexuality; rather, it is a "third space" that by its very existence calls the binary system into question. As this collection deftly demostrates, there is no single way to "be" bisexual and by hearing all of the stories in this collection the reader is able to see how bisexuality can be understood as a space of potential, an openness to different manifestations of sexual and emotional attraction, and having this idea explored through personal stories and experiences can be just as effective, if not moreso, than through a weighty academic tome.
Definitely recommended for those who want a good place to start in exploring what bisexuality is and how people experience it. Especially recommended for queer groups or individuals who are struggling with how to understand or be allies to their bi friends and group members.

An important book that is timeless
2014Amazonで購入
Getting Bi is a wonderful book that I used for a book club meeting last year. It is a collection of personal stories from the voices of many different bi people. It is a timeless book that gives an inside view of the unique journey inside the lives of a diverse collection of bisexual people. It will enlighten and educate even bisexuals themselves to gain an ever so important hidden peek inside their own community . A deeper understanding of this widely diverse community from so many walks of life is an important read for anyone who is, knows or loves a bisexual. You probably know, work with or are even dating one and you might not know it! Our book group enjoyed the book and we talked about the stories that resonated with each of us, individually. Bisexuals are hidden, silenced, marginalized and struggle alone for much of their lives and this book is an important piece of work that is a fascinating read that will surprise even those of us that think we know who bisexuals are. Deeply enlightening, educational and a very important contribution that is still relevant even though it was written quite some time ago.
