ABSTRACT
In this essay, I frame radical bisexuality in a model that connects the gender-related oppressions—heterosexism, monosexism, and sexism—within genderism (see Figure 1). Genderism is the artificial channeling of people into two biological sexes, which oppresses those who challenge this duality. My model shows the gender constructs within which bisexuality is (misunderstood, accepted, and rejected as pathological or nonexistent, and also implies that those targeted by gender-related oppression (all women as well as intersexual, 1 bisexual, transgender, lesbian, and gay people 2 ) need to work as allies toward dismantling our common, interconnected oppression.
