From reading Prof Michael Biggs’ paper on the history of puberty blockers we find that of the first 70 children on the “Dutch Protocol”, 8.6% were bisexual.
One further child did not know their sexual orientation yet.

Statistics on referrals to GIDS in a 2014 paper showed that 26% were bisexual.
ONS estimates of bisexuality in 16-24 year olds in 2014 were only 1.3%, so referrals were roughly 20x higher than in the general population.

Happy #BiVisibilityDay! We have a lot of bi+ members of the Vagina Museum team, so we're going to introduce you to some of our lovely bi, pan and queer eager beavers!
"I'm Rhi, I'm queer/pansexual. I volunteer at the Vagina Museum and I work in disability access in the music and live events industry. In my spare time I paint and hang out with my cat." 
This is volunteer Ki (per/per/person): "Queer, polyamorous, bisexual activist. Microscopist in biomedical research to pay the bills. Avid crafter - I sew, crochet, and am currently learning embroidery! Love cats!"
'Men often approach me to discuss their bisexuality, I'm happy to be out and proud,' writes Megan Barton Hanson #BiVisibilityDay

'On a night out with a female friend of mine, a man came up to us and said we looked cute.
'So I turned to her and semi-jokingly asked if she wanted to have a threesome with him.'
'So I turned to her and semi-jokingly asked if she wanted to have a threesome with him.'
'She had a boyfriend so didn’t want to, but that was the first time I had opened up to someone about my desire for both men and women – even if I ended up playing off my idea as just a drunken suggestion.'
🌈 Today we celebrate #BiVisibilityDay!
🚨 Bisexual people continue to face erasure.
❌ Bi discrimination is often based on incorrect stereotypes – like being bi is a phase or a trend.
👩 But these 9 famous faces from history tell a different story. 🧵

Ma Rainey (1886-1939)
🎤 Nicknamed "The Mother of Blues", Rainey was one of the earliest and most influential singers within the genre.
💘 While she sang about men, she was equally as open in her lyrics about her love for women – most famously in "Prove It on Me Blues".

Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798)
💋 While Casanova's name has become synonymous with seducing women, the infamous lover also recorded sleeping with men on several occasions.
📕 His memoirs are now thought to be one of the most authentic sources of 18th-century European social life.

Das ich frei über meine #Bisexualität denken und schreiben und reden kann, ist nicht selbstverständlich. Noch immer werden auch bisexuelle Menschen in vielen anderen Ländern verurteilt. (2/22)
In #Ägypten sind homosexuelle Handlungen verboten und wird mit 3 Jahren Haft veruteilt. Im #Iran erhalten queere Frauen 100 Peitschenhiebe. Und Männer werden zum Tode verurteilt. Die #Todesstrafe gibt es auch in #SaudiArabien. (3/22)

The journey to pride has been a long one for me. 🌈
I am proud to say I am a bisexual man working in sports media.
It shouldn’t matter, but we’re still in an era where it does - hopefully this helps others have less fear about who they are.

I grew up in a household where homophobia amongst other things was sadly common.
This meant I kept my feelings to myself out of fear.
Fear of abuse, discrimination, & being known professionally for my sexuality rather than my work.
Not any more.

I feel like I've found my true home & so much ❤️ in the #LGBTQ+ community.
I’ve realised that the best way to cause change is through visible representation, & that showing difference is a strength.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

happy #BiVisibilityDay! 💙💖💜 remember to support and show up for all types of bi experiences today & everyday, even if they don't center (or even include) cute femme cis white women 🌈
I understand why it happens, but wow I have a lot of complicated and messy feelings around how bi discourse usually goes. Biphobia and the pain of being excluded from a community is VERY real, and there are absolutely experiences that are uniquely bisexual...
...BUT a lot of the time, conversations about bisexuality, by/for/centering bi people, tend towards a few trends that I (a fellow bi person) am not super fond of:
1/ Quick thread. It’s #BiVisibilityDay, and so I thought I would mention what I call my “iceberg theory of bisexuality”: which is that for every openly bisexual person in your friends’ circle or workplace, there are likely a few others just below the surface.
2/ There’s still a lot of ignorance about bisexual people - I received a weapons-grade dose of it just the other week - so that’s why I am open about it. (I hope that the relevant individual, should they read this, is utterly ashamed of themselves.)
3/ Now and then I get messages from bisexual people, mostly men, who say that it’s helpful that I talk about this subject, so that’s mostly why I do it. We’ve got a lot of serious challenges facing this world so people should really be too busy to be ignorant, yet here we are.
Hey friends it's #BiVisibilityDay and you know what that means,,,
You are now legally obligated to look at me!

Today is #BiVisibiltyDay. In the chapter on lust in #7NecessarySins, I quote from one of my favourite lectures/essays by Black bisexual poet, intellectual and activist June Jordan. It is about the political and revolutionary power of bisexuality. #LGBTQ 🏳️🌈
"If you are free, you are not predictable and you are not controllable...," June Jordan.
The essay on the revolutionary potential of bisexuality & critique of gender is from 1991. You can read A New Politics of Sexuality rachelyon1.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/a-new-…

“We must move out from the shadows of our collective subjugation - as people of color/as women/as gay/as lesbian/as bisexual human beings,” June Jordan, 1991. #BisexualVisibilityDay #BiVisibilityDay #LGBTQ 🏳️🌈
Hi! Happy #BiVisibilityDay! Every year for the last 5 years I have said a version of the same thing. This year is no exception. Let's talk bisexuality! (short thread👇)
1) I am #bisexual. To me, this means I can be attracted to people who *are not* of my gender identity, as well as being attracted to people who *are* of my gender identity
2) it does not mean I erase non binary gender identities. The '2' implied by my use of 'bi' is 'like me' & 'not like me'
23 Settembre: oggi è il #BiVisibilityDay, anche conosciuto come #InternationalCelebrateBisexualityDay
Settembre è il mese in cui si "celebra" la visibilità bisex. E oggi è il giorno in cui culminano queste celebrazioni.
Settembre è il mese in cui si "celebra" la visibilità bisex. E oggi è il giorno in cui culminano queste celebrazioni.
La componente #bisex, la B di quell'acronimo che infastidisce molti, è una parte importante della nostra comunità.
Ed è anche una di quelle che subisce più stigma, stereotipi e discriminazione.
E ciò che è peggio è che molto spesso arrivano dall'interno della comunità #LGBT+.

Le persone bisex non sono irrisolt*, gay o lesbiche che si vergognano, traditori seriali ed opportunisti.
Semplicemente esistono persone che provano attrazione e sentimenti sia per uomini che per donne (siano essi cis o trans).
FATEVENE UNA RAGIONE!

Accepter que l'on a pas à choisir entre les genres c'est tout un périple et c'est important d'en prendre conscience ! 🌈
Er puis à part ça allez voir toutes les vidéos de @VivreAvec_ ! Non seulement vous apprendrez plein de choses, parfois vous serez révoltez mais souvent ça vous fera un bien fou !
📏Lerp vs Slerp⭕
• Lerp interpolates in a straight line
• useful for interpolating positions
• Slerp rotates around (0,0)
• useful for interpolating directions

"But can't I just use lerp and normalize instead of slerp?"
for small angles, it might be good enough, but for large angles, their directions actually deviate quite a lot
here they are superimposed!

here's a bonus comparison between:
💙 = Vector Lerp
💜 = Vector/Quaternion Slerp
❤️ = Quaternion Lerp
(oh hey accidentally matched colors to #BiVisibilityDay 🎉)
also included the normalized version of vector lerp in faded blue!

"Today is my first #BiVisibilityDay as a bi person who is out publicly. I am fortunate to come from a family that is very supportive of the LGBTQ communtity, and indeed I have two family members who are out and blazed the way. [1/13]
So I grew up knowing that if I came out as gay, I would be loved. Despite this, it still took until I was in my 30s for me to understand that I am bi. This is mostly because as a young cis woman, I knew I was attracted to men. [2/13]
Any feelings I had towards women, I put down to admiration. In addition, I didn’t know anyone who was bi, so I didn’t really question it. There were a few important moments in the TV shows I watched as a teenager that could that could have helped me... [3/13]
