Progressive development

from physical definitions such as intersex

to gender expressions
to the combination of homosexuality of hetersexuality

from medical science, to psychological presepctives and ultimately to sexual orientation and
intimacy/

reinforcement of heternormativity/- confined to male and female traits, as well as femininity

and masculinity/

to at least have a common ground, or an universal goal-

however differentiations exists again, either authentic or inauthentic
- hard to establish a movement

1. develop distinctive identity- solidarity from common identity is a must/

 2. what is the distinctive nature of bisexuality/ having multiple relationships
simultaneously
3. oppression of monosexism
in society we only framed to fall for one gender, however we should open, with the aim of
liking two genders in a role- tactics to tackle the monosexist society- please treat us visibility-
please don’t combine us together-

LGBT- Les is Les, Bi is Bi, do not mix us up/

can make use of the power of the weak to resist and confront with the authoritarian group
they coexist- where there is domination, there is subversion/
