Which, you know, bisexual peeps catch enough shit (and pansexual right alongside them, since people like to conflate/combine the two). That someone would use that, and all the sympathy, support, etc it drew from our community, is despicable. Queer people endure enough grief, without someone pretending to be one of us because it brings them something. Entire essays could be written about that. They have been, I'm sure.
I cannot right SH's wrongs. But this one, at least, I can combat to some measure. Below is a list of actual, real, not faking it bisexual and pansexual authors. If you ever gave SH an ounce of your attention or a penny of your money, consider giving it now to one or more of the authors below.
(And for the record, if it matters, I am asexual and biromantic. I am not a straight woman speaking for queer people). Full disclosure, my wife is one of the people on this list, included only for the sake of thoroughness. Others are obviously LT3 authors, again included for thoroughness, not to bring profit to me or mine. They are starred.
First, A.M. Leibowitz already compiled a pretty awesome list on this theme.
*Victoria Zagar
Amelia Faulkner
*Sasha L. Miller (my wife)
Aly Haden
Kirby Crow
Beth Bolden
*Caitlin Ricci
*Robin Tennant
Sheena J. Himes
Christ McHart
Aleksandr Voinov
Bronwyn Heeley
Jaye McKenna
*Dianne Hartsock
If you are not on the list, whether I missed you somehow, or you did not see the initial call, just email meganaderr@gmail.com and I'll add you!
