We’re exploring topics like:

• The surprising truths about being bi that most people don’t talk about.
• How biphobia shows up, even in queer spaces, and how we deal with it.

In this special follow-up to our AMA episode, we're diving into your questions about bisexuality. We had so many fantastic questions from our community that we decided to split our AMA into two parts—this one is all about bisexuality, identity, and everything in between.

We’re tackling questions like:

• How do you stay visible as a bisexual person in a heteronormative world?
• What’s it like to come out as bi after identifying as gay?
• How do you express your attraction to other genders in a monogamous relationship?

Whether you're questioning, out and proud, or just curious, this episode covers a wide range of topics, from personal insights to practical advice. Plus, we explore how bisexuality intersects with masculinity, relationships, and the different ways people can experience attraction.

If you’ve ever felt caught between labels or struggled with how to stay true to your identity, this episode is for you.

In Episode 10, we take on a question that’s been floating around for ages: “Where are all the bi men?”

We dive deep into the unique challenges that bi men face, from societal expectations to internalised fears. We’re talking about everything—how masculinity and patriarchal norms have shaped our understanding of bisexuality, the stigma within both queer and straight communities, and the mental health impacts of staying closeted.

You’ll hear personal stories, the ups and downs of being out, and some heartfelt advice for anyone struggling to accept their own bi identity. We also celebrate our recent partnership with Star Observer! This episode has something for everyone, whether you're out, questioning, or just curious.

In this episode of Give It To Me Bi, we’re tackling one of the biggest challenges bisexual folks face—those pesky myths and stereotypes. Whether it’s the tired accusation of “confusion,” the hypersexualisation, or the constant assumptions about monogamy, we’re here to break it all down.

We’ve both faced these myths in our own lives, and we know how damaging they can be. So, we’re sharing personal stories, using a bit of humour, and offering practical, empowering ways to respond when these stereotypes come up.

If you’ve ever struggled with how to answer someone who just doesn’t get it—or if you’ve heard one too many myths yourself—this episode is for you. Let’s dive in, debunk these myths together, and show the world what it really means to be bi.
