Julia Shaw's book, 'Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality,' points out a prevailing belief that once married, a person's partner's gender defines their 'real' sexuality.
Despite my engagement, I grapple with a fear that I've built a wall between my bisexuality and my identity, fearing a total disconnect from my queer self.
Stereotypes about bisexual women, such as only dating men or being intimidated by women, complicate my experience and perpetuate the notion that I'm not acknowledging my queerness.
The jokes and narratives surrounding bisexuality that flood social media reinforce a damaging cultural belief that limits understanding and acceptance of my dual attraction.
