hi there, this might be outside of your realm of expertise but I'm working on a personal essay for class and I'm trying to find an essay/treatise/declaration someone wrote about being bisexual and how bisexuality doesn't equate to only two sexes. I can't remember much, only that it is available on her (I'm pretty sure it's a her) website, which I think was either purple or blue and very early to mid 2000s-ish in my brain, and that her first name was Robin (sp.?) and I think her last name started with an O. I also want to say it was maybe first written in the 80s or 90s, but I'm not sure.
I was hoping either you might know, or someone who follows you might know -- you're a bigger blog than mine by a mile and I was hoping you might be able to help.
Thanks for reading.
Hi follow up, bisexuality question person here. Her name is Robyn Ochs (which I found immediately after sending that ask) but I still can't find the particular essay/piece I'm looking for. Here's some quotes from it though: "“For me, the bi in bisexual refers to the potential for attraction to people with genders similar to and different from my own" and "I call myself bisexual because I acknowledge that I have in myself the potential to be attracted – romantically and/or sexually – to people of more than one gender, not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree.”
Again, I think these are from the piece, but I can't find the webpage and my research isn't turning up anything. I would appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks again for reading.
my brother in christ this quote is PROMINENTLY available, pretty much in the totality of what you typed and without attribution to specific piece of writing, on Robyn Ochs' website under the "Bisexuality" page, one of the very first results that pops up when you google search "robyn ochs bisexuality definition." I don't believe it's from any particular piece of writing so much as something she simply falls back on in a lot of her educational work and promo pieces; she also tweets it pretty often. you can cite personal websites in essays, that's perfectly allowed.
