Can bi volunteer work help you get a job?

This year has seen a lot of changes as I’ve moved house, moved cities and found a new job – no wonder I haven’t had the time or energy to write anything here since January! I was very fortunate as I had enough money in the bank to last through a short period of unemployment and … Continue reading Can bi volunteer work help you get a job? →

Saying Something Doesn’t Make It So

Recently I mentioned an LGBTQ+ issue to a colleague and was immediately met with the words “But that’s not really a problem any more.” This happens to me a lot. I can understand the (false) reasoning behind the sentiment. There is a pervasive feeling amongst people with privilege in our society that, in this modern day and age, … Continue reading Saying Something Doesn’t Make It So →

First Bi Awareness Training

Recently I gave my first Bisexuality Awareness Talk to a County Council LGBT Network group. I was a little nervous as I’ve never done one before; normally I delegate all training to @unchartedworlds! However everything went fine and it turned out to be the perfect starting point for a newbie. There were only a handful of people there and everyone was very … Continue reading First Bi Awareness Training →

Avoiding Burnout

Activists and group leaders are always going to be prone to getting burned out. We do so much work in our own free time. This is often done on top of full time work or family responsibilities. It might also be done under the pressure of unemployment and living on a very small income. As there are no funded … Continue reading Avoiding Burnout →

BBC Breakfast Show Post – Follow Up & Apologies

At the end of August I wrote a blog post about bi erasure on a BBC Radio Nottingham Breakfast Show. After distributing the link on a email list, the leader of a local trans group politely informed me that I had got it so very wrong. In the previous post, I had written that to me … Continue reading BBC Breakfast Show Post – Follow Up & Apologies →

Bi Erasure on the BBC Nottingham Breakfast Show

This morning the horrific abuse and transphobia a trans woman faces everyday in Mansfield was discussed on the Andy Whittaker Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Nottingham from 8am. I thought the presenter did a good job in discussing what Kerry Ann has been going through. They never misgendered her. They never questioned why she was transitioning or made comments about … Continue reading Bi Erasure on the BBC Nottingham Breakfast Show →

Speaking to the Press at Pride Parades

Last year at the Nottinghamshire Pride Parade me and Kate were interviewed by Notts TV and I remember thinking afterwards that I wasn’t ready for it. I didn’t say anything useful or get any good points across. I hadn’t even thought about speaking to the media, let alone prepare any messages that I wanted people to hear. … Continue reading Speaking to the Press at Pride Parades →

Bisexual Visibility at Manchester Pride

Originally Published September 2014 Last year I took part in Manchester Pride Parade for the first time by joining BiPhoria’s walking entry. It was an amazing, exhilarating experience but I left with a lot of ideas of things I wanted to try for the parade in 2014. The parade at Manchester Pride is massive. Thousands of people … Continue reading Bisexual Visibility at Manchester Pride →
