Just over 13 minutes of video, welcoming bi / pan / queer / no-label people to Notts Pride in 2019, and giving everyone some bi facts. Plus the story of how it came about.

Visibility and celebrations: 6-minute...
On International Celebrate Bisexuality Day 2015 in Nottingham, Hannah organised a gathering by the Robin Hood statue, round the corner from Nottingham Castle. This is the little speech I made to mark the day.
You can switch on subtitles using the little CC (“closed captions”) icon in the bottom right hand corner of the video sc [...]
Four points for better bi-related med...
Mainly for people who write articles and blog posts and want to up their bi-solidarity game.
That doesn’t only mean non-bi people; we can benefit from considering this stuff ourselves. And some of the points are also relevant where we ourselves might be writing about some other marginalised group.
There’ [...]
Bi erasure in a nutshell
New badge design, new micro-summary.
Regular readers will know that a current political theme of mine is bi erasure. In particular, I’ve been trying to explain & spread Kenji Yoshino’s ideas of how erasure functions on different interlocking levels. (Essay / video.) I think this understanding of bi erasure mecha [...]
Stop Erasing Bi People Day
Yesterday was 23 September, a big day in the bi calendar.
As the day went on and I read stuff online, I was increasingly feeling & noticing how much I don’t like the rise of the name “Bi Visibility Day”. (Originally it was called Celebrate Bisexuality Day – implications of which I have also pondered, no [...]
Bi erasure and the many names of May ...

It’s an anniversary today.
On May 17, 1990, the World Health Organization declassified same-sex attraction as a mental disorder, stating that “homosexuality is not a disease, a disturbance or a [...]
Visiting Nottingham University by bus...
BiCon comes to Nottingham this weekend, so I thought I’d deploy some of my local knowledge to be useful to people :-)
This post is mainly about buses and bus stops… but I must also say first, don’t be misled by the tram testing! The trams which go to the new tram stop at the University are being tested at the moment, and so [...]
Video of a speech on “Bi erasure”
Seven minutes of me talking mostly about bi erasure, with subtitles and timings, plus some back-story in the blog post.
On Sunday 17 May 2015, it was IDAHoBiT – “International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia”. I was one of about half a dozen people who spoke at a gathering in Nottingham. [...]
Thoughts on #BiStonewall
Some thoughts, as a kind of open letter to UK “lesbian, gay and bisexual charity” Stonewall, related to an event this week and their work after that.
Stonewall are hosting a day this Saturday with a theme of “We want to hear from bi people about how Stonewall can best campaign to tackle biphobia.” It follows o [...]
Three levels of bi erasure
I’m thinking let’s talk more about bi erasure. Here, I attempt to put into everyday language some ideas from Kenji Yoshino’s excellent essay on the subject, The epistemic contract of bisexual erasure (PDF).
The under-representation of bi people is often spoken of in terms of “bi invisibility”. [...]
