ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I argue that gender stereotypes and bisexuality are part of our foundation matrix, which includes individual persons and groups in the context of one single, inseparable process, in which biological, social, cultural and economic factors meet and merge. These stereotypical male and female figures, that have existed from time immemorial, have a major impact on the creation of our gendered sense of self. Other factors affecting our gendered-self include language and technology. Bisexuality and the wish for potentiating this bisexuality are also located in aspects of the foundation matrix which are “socially unconscious.” These processes are exemplified directly in clinical work and small and large groups; they are illustrated indirectly through discussions of various foundational elements such as mythology, history, cultural customs and institutions, literature, art and movies which reflect, structure, express and resonate the various aspects of bisexuality and bigenderality.
