This is a little space for me to write about bisexuality because I&#8217;m fed up of it being ignored, ridiculed and dismissed. I&#8217;m sick of fighting to be included.

Tired of feeling\u00a0anxious and depressed about\u00a0experiencing discrimination, biphobia and bi erasure on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>I found that I was writing about the above a lot. As well as\u00a0blogging about bisexuality in the media (especially TV shows) and the <a href=\"https:\/\/nottinghambi.wordpress.com\/bitopia\/\" >bi group in Nottingham<\/a> that I set up and run too. So it made sense to put all these posts in one place and write more.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to become a better bi activist, so I will share what I&#8217;m learning and doing on that front too.<\/p>\n<p>Please spread the word.
