摘要: How can we see bisexuality in society? What does a bisexual look like? happens if cannot This chapter reflects on the body and suggests that fails to be visually recognised due assumption everyone is either heterosexual, lesbian, or gay. I argue this contributes invisibility society, thus shrouding experiences silence. silence, argue, results reduced quality of life for bisexuals lack social recognition consequent invalidation identity. Although fail bisexuality, contend reliance visual cues determine sexual identity problematic, must turn discursive measures representation.
