Queering Sex
Heteronormativity is when heterosexuality is considered the ‘norm’. And because of this, we are raised with an increased exposure to heterosexual relationships, which further perpetuates our belief that it is the norm.
But the kind of heterosexual relationships and sex we have been exposed to is usually limited, and prescriptive.
Bisexuality Awareness
Bisexuals vary from other sexual minority subgroups in their unique experience of discrimination including biphobia. This makes them at greater risk of being diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and substance abuse compared to their heterosexual and homosexual counterparts.

I had set a goal to journal every night as a reflective exercise. What I noticed was startling. I defined ‘sex’ as penile-vaginal intercourse between a man and woman. As a mental health counsellor working with people and discussing sexual health, I reflected on how damaging this limited definition of sex was on my practice, and my perception of sexual and romantic relationships.
