Last
week I posted an article about “Discrimination”. This week “discrimination”
will go on－same topic, but new term perhaps for most
of you.
Sometimes
people easily criticize others because of insufficient knowledge toward certain
things that are seldom happening in their lives. Therefore, it is
understandable that people can hardly embrace a new thing. There is no need to
enforce anyone to be in a complete accord with other people’ ideas. However, it
is urgent that people learn the minority is not invisible.
Bisexuals
are everywhere. Yes, instead of heterosexual and homosexual, bisexuality
appears to be unfamiliar to people, doesn’t it? According to Wikipedia, Bisexuality
is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior toward both males
and females. Now you might wonder how we can know because it is not more
obvious than heterosexuality and homosexuality theoretically. Based on Kristina
Marusic’s article “The 5 times I wish I'd outed myself as bisexual”, bisexuals
have to explicitly, verbally out themselves to become visible. Thus, let’s get
started to know the author’s confession: The 5 times I wish I'd outed myself as
bisexual.
First of all, whoever she is dating needs
to embrace her sexual orientation because she believes that it would have saved
herself much time. Secondly, she should express herself as bisexual and
represent that community while living abroad. Next, to her exes’ families, she
once inferred her previous partners as “friends” in front of their families;
she knew that was awful. Other than that, she thinks that she missed a great
opportunity to make older people understand bisexuality, which they might
rarely encounter before. The fourth one is that she should trust her family to
love her unconditionally rather than being afraid to out herself as bisexual. Last,
bisexuals are tend not to speak up to their doctors, but it is important.
Bisexual people experience a broad range of mental and physical health issues.
Therefore, at least doctors should get to know where there is much space for
improvement of it.
Despite the 5 wishes, there are still pros
and cons of coming out. Visibility is also critical to social progress.
However, it doesn’t matter too much now, because what bisexuals really need is
that people get to know it. Again, respect diversity－we are responsible to do. See you on next weekly blog.
