Do you actually like him or is it just aesthetic attraction? Are half of young people actually bi? In this episode, we take a look at some of the research on (as well as our own experiences of) compulsory heterosexuality and bi erasure. Today's guest, Darcy Bate, first shares her story of how she came to know she was a lesbian after years of navigating comp het. We then discuss what it means to be bisexual, the erasure of sexual identities, different types of attraction, and more!

You can watch a video version of this podcast on YouTube (channel name: Zareena Evelina) and find resources and studies/surveys mentioned in the video description.
