Summary of Shiri Eisner's Bi
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Too many books about bisexuality skip over the fact that the term bisexuality has multiple, complex meanings, and instead assume that it has a simple, straightforward definition. This leads to the assumption that people already know all about it, when in reality, they don't.
#2 Bisexuality, as a term and a concept, was born around the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. It was used to describe what we now call intersexuality, which is when a person's sex is not aligned with their gender.
#3 The first researcher to treat bisexuality as an existing sexuality was Alfred Kinsey in his landmark research Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, first published in 1948. Monosexual means someone who is attracted to people of only one gender.
#4 Bisexuality was first invented and scrutinized by hegemonic powers under the mass project of categorizing and then pathologizing various human experiences and behaviors. It was later reclaimed by the bisexual movement.
