The Globe and Mail interviewed Elizabeth Saewyc, a professor at UBC’s School of Nursing, for a story on why bisexual women are at a higher risk for domestic violence.
For 20 years Saewyc has been challenging the stigmas associated with bisexuality along with the idea that bisexuality “isn’t a real thing.”
“The notion that someone might be attracted to more than one gender is difficult for people. Our society doesn’t deal with shades of grey or ambiguity very well,” said Saewyc, who is executive director of UBC’s Stigma and Resilience Among Vulnerable Youth Centre.
