Welcome to Bi Women Boston, the home of the Boston Bisexual Women’s Network and Bi Women, a quarterly newsletter produced in Boston for women everywhere.

THE NEW ISSUE OF BI WOMEN IS NOW AVAILABLE! Just click here to read it!2

The theme for our next issue (Fall 2010) will be “Bi & Single.”

Dating. Not dating. If you’re single and looking, where and how do you meet people? Finding/dating men/women: different or similar? In that ways? When and how do you come out to sexual and/or romantic partners? If you’re sexually active, how do you deal with safer sex? If you’re single and happy that way, tell us why?

We welcome your essays, poetry, artwork, letters, very short fiction and other forms of musings.

Let me know right away if you’re planning on writing. And send your submissions by August 5 to biwomeneditor@gmail.com.

Upcoming themes will include: Trans/Gender; Fantasy; Choice; Out at Work; Families; Bi, But…; and more.

Many non-bisexual people think of bisexuality as a split experience of the self. They think of a bisexual as sometimes gay or lesbian (with a side serve of heterosexism) and sometimes straight (with a side serve of heterosexual privilege) by turns. They imagine her sense of herself is split into two pieces. Sometimes she plays for one team, and sometimes on the other. [...]
But the life writings of bisexual people do not reflect this picture of an unavoidably fractured identity. Bisexual people often experience the decision to adopt identity as naming the entirety of their experience as a unified whole. Many of us experience choosing bisexual identity as a homecoming. It allows us to name feelings, experiences, and self-understandings as part of a whole, rather than demanding that we attempt to understand ourselves or explain ourselves to others as sometimes one thing and sometimes another. In a sense, it is a choice in the direction of unification, exactly the opposite of being split.
