Additional info
We only feature women+ who identify as bi+. That includes people with nonbinary sexualities (i.e., bi, pan, fluid, and other non-binary sexualities). We also see “woman” as a broad category with space for an array of gender identities and expressions. We welcome contributions from bi+ women who identify as trans, non-binary, cis, and beyond.
