《二性:一篇关于双性恋的论文集》

English | 2017 | ISBN: 1527211924 | True PDF | 0.3 MB

In today’s social climate, bisexuals inhabit a liminal space between cultures, often misunderstood and criticised by both the straight community and the LGBTQ+ – despite the fact we represent the capital B in that very mix. We’re called fence-sitters, greedy, promiscuous, incapable of decisions or monogamy, or simply dismissed as non-existent like a stubborn urban legend. Bisexuals suffer both the abuse incurred for existence and the erasure that claims nonexistence: a half-life, a state of being and not being, simultaneously too gay and not gay enough.

Because of this and many other factors, the statistics for bisexual wellbeing are bleak – we are more likely to suffer from mental health issues, more likely to be closeted, at higher risk of domestic abuse and assault from partners, and even at higher risk of conditions like heart disease and addiction. It is time to dig into these issues and step out of the liminal space – into a full life where our voices and stories can be heard, and our identities declared valid.

So was born The Bi-ble, a collection of original essays and personal narratives giving platform to the thoughts and experiences relevant to bisexuals today.

This book is not just for bisexuals, though we hope it will unite and inspire those of us who identify as such. It is also an invitation to sharing and understanding, an open book, so to speak, extending a discussion to other communities in the hope of learning more about each other and the beautiful, multifaceted, endlessly complex and individual world of sexuality.


在当今的社会氛围中,双性恋者处于两种文化的边缘地带,经常被同性恋社群和LGBTQ+群体误解和批评——尽管我们代表着他们所混合的那部分“B”。我们被称为动摇者、贪婪之人、多情之人,或是干脆就被人排除在外,就像一个顽固的城市传说。双性恋者既承受存在所带来的虐待,又遭受不存在这一说法抹去的事实:一种半生的状态,既不属于也同时满足了一种既是同性恋也不是同性恋的双重身份。 由于这些以及其他许多因素的影响,双性恋者的精神健康状况普遍不佳——我们更容易患上心理健康问题、更有可能选择隐藏自己的身份、面临伴侣施暴的风险更高,甚至还有更高的心脏病和成瘾风险。是时候深入探讨这些问题,并走出这种边缘地带了——去到一个能让我们的声音与故事被听到的完整生活中,在那里我们的身份可以得到承认。 因此诞生了《双性恋者之声》一书,它汇集了原创新作和个人经历,以展示当今双性恋者的思想和体验。 这本书不仅仅是为了双性恋者而写,尽管我们希望它能够团结并鼓舞那些认同自己是双性恋者的社群成员。它也是一个分享与理解的机会,一本开放的书籍,可以说,通过讨论延伸到其他社群,希望能更多了解彼此以及这个丰富多彩、复杂多变且个体化的性向世界。 这部作品还邀请其他社群加入对话和交流——去更深入地探索这些社群与其他社群之间可能存在的相似性和差异。
