But if you’re looking for something positive, a Bisexual 101 perhaps, your options are limited to just a handful of titles that are still in print. If you’re looking for dusty old books by psychiatrists who believed bisexual people are not quite right in the head, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Through my years running the Bi Pan Library, a U.S.-based private queer literature archive, I’ve read stacks of nonfiction about fluid sexuality from the past century, and it’s no wonder we can’t get out of this cycle of confusion. But even now, more than a century after the terms “ bisexual” and “ pansexual” were coined, people are still confused. We’ve tried Venn diagrams, adopted animal mascots, developed TV tropes and launched awareness campaigns. For over a century, society has struggled to understand who, why, what and how bisexual and pansexual people are what they are.
