Bisexual and proud
I’m Bi and I’m Proud
As a happy-go-lucky guy with a devil-may-care attitude, the very first period I experimented with another guy was something I didn’t quite dwell on. It was me being the impulsive me I usually am. It was freeing, liberating, exciting, exhilarating. The possibility of introducing another dimension to my life was much more than I could bear, and before I knew it, I was swiping right on both girls and guys. It didn’t feel wrong. In fact, it felt quite intriguing. With these new insights, I decided to give dating another try. The “not looking for anything thoughtful but open to anything” caring of dating. Up until that point, my love life had been very simple: the lifeless, single phase, a six-month relationship with a girl and the only-looking-for-fun, single phase. While not very experienced in the domains of love, in all my years of singlehood, I was still something akin to an advice columnist to my friends having relationship glitches. All those soaps and dramas I used to watch with my mom as a kid came in handy after all. My number one advice for those in search of lo

Proud Cubes Series - 1st Edition - Bisexual Signature Proud Cubes
The original definition of bisexuality is used for having an attraction for 2 genders - male and female. But in the recent years with the extensive acceptance of many other genders beyond male and female, the term has evolved to encompass attraction towards 2 or more genders, usually including the individual's own gender, and other genders.
The term bisexual has evolved into an umbrella term encompassing the attraction for 2 or more genders, but not all. An individual who has attraction for all genders identify as pansexual or omnisexual.

Being autistic, bisexual and confident
I am proud to be autistic and be a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Although, it’s taken me a long time to understand how I fit within these groups and to feel confident being part of them.
In the last two years I hold learnt so much more about myself and grown in confidence. Feeling accepted by the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities has a big part to play in that.
Understanding myself
I was diagnosed with autism when I was 13, but no one explained what it meant. At the second, there was very little about how autism can present differently to the typical 'male' stereotype. There were very few autistic females in the media and I couldn't find any books to explain how the traits of autism might apply to me. As I grew up, this presented challenges, particularly when it came to encountering sex and relationships; understanding my body and 'feelings' didn't come naturally to me. This scared me. I felt wrong, like I was somehow subhuman, and not good enough. I also establish the idea of attraction confusing - I was attra
Bisexual, Autistic and Proud: In Celebration of Bi Visibility Week
Last week was Bi Visibility Week; a glorious time in which the purple unicorns become visible to the non-purple, non-unicorn masses. I am one of those purple unicorns. And no matter how hard I prance, and flick my horn, and toss my mane, sometimes it still feels as though the only thing I’m visible to are my fellow unicorns and a brick wall.
I first began identifying as bisexual when I was seventeen, and, no matter how many times the ‘this is a phase’ and ‘one day you will pick a side’ assertions were drilled against me, I am still here eight years later proclaiming the same thing.
The only difference is that these days I am more likely to use ‘queer’ to verb to myself than ‘bisexual’ (hello, title of the blog!). I don’t know when that particular transition happened – maybe it’s because, having never had a relationship, I felt somehow unworthy of taking ‘bisexual’ as my moniker; or maybe its because the very essence of the word ‘queer’, difference and weirdness, just sums me up a little better than ‘bise
