Curve Magazine is Bi-Licious!

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

There are so many reasons I love Curve magazine, and not just because I have an article in their latest issue! I love that Curve is going the distance for bisexual women, telling it like it is about our lives, and acknowledging that we do have a place at the lesbian table — and vice […]

Trans Health Care and a RIP to Loving

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

The relationship between medical theory/ practice and trans identities is a complicated one. Add to that this latest situation (below), which demands our immediate attention. Thanks to a friend for alerting me by sending me this message:

Wise words and important research

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

When it comes to bisexuals and relationships, Greta Christina says it all: http://www.alternet.org/sex/84171/?page=entire.

The Task Force Responds to Lisa Diamond’s Work

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

What a busy couple of weeks it’s been! The National Gay & Lesbian Task Force issued this statement responding to Lisa Diamond’s study on the lives of bisexual women, and it got picked up by The Miami Herald here. The statement was co-written by Julie Ebin, Marshall Miller, and me; we’re the co-authors of Bisexual […]

Lisa Diamond’s Study

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Lisa Diamond, a professor at the University of Utah, is getting a ton of press about her latest research, on bisexual women’s identity. Check out what the press is saying here and here and here. My thoughts on the whole situation will be posted soon, so stay tuned for that.
And speaking of bisexuals and academics, […]

Thankful

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

World AIDS Day is approaching, and this year, as I reflect on thankfulness, I’m thankful for all my friends and family, and I’m especially proud of my friends who work in HIV services and HIV health care advocacy organizations. If you’ve got a few extra bucks in your hands this holiday season, please consider making […]
