The Architecture of Biphobia

Résumé :
Did you know that bisexual women are paid less than lesbians and straight women? Or that they die younger than lesbians and straight women? These little-known statistics often come as a surprise. Why might bi and pan women be more vulnerable than others? Biphobia is a form of oppression that is poorly understood and often poorly theorized. It is complex: it stems from homophobia and interacts with heterosexuality. It is reasonable to wonder whether these two forces cancel each other out or coexist. In reality, they shift and grow more complex, forming a kind of oppression with specific consequences: biphobia. A clear and rigorous essay that answers the most important questions about biphobia.
