There’s a bi group in Utah called the 1 to 5 club (named after the Kinsey Scale).
What would the equivalent be for the Klein Grid?
Pls RT/ask your mathsy friends.

What a charming coincidence. This month’s Brighton Bothways coffee meet is on the same day as the Science of Sex event being held round the corner :)
Saturday 9th Feb - come to both!
The Science of Sex is part of @BrightonScienceFest. I’ll be there cos I’m a sex nerd and it’s only £10 (or £8 concessions).
The coffee meet is from 3-5pm, come whenever you can, drop-in/drop-out, for everyone attracted to more than one gender (as well as for our allies).
It’s at the Redroaster cafe. They do good cake (including a little gluten-free).
Sometimes ppl hang around/ go the pub to afterwards. If anyone wanted to plan to do that so as not to miss bits of the SoS event, then it couldn’t hurt to post about it in the coffee meet fb group as there may be others who’d like to as well eg moi :D
*It’s pretty annoying how tumblr keeps double-posting pics atm, huh? Decided to leave it this time seeing as it’s appropriate tho :)

and SM have for challenging theories of self-identity. The traditional way of
viewing the self is as one, coherent whole but, as constructivist and constructionist
theorists have pointed out, this can be an unhelpful view leading to conflict over what the
‘real’ self is (Butt et al., 1997). It seems that bisexuality, non-monogamy and SM have
the capacity to help people become aware of different facets of themselves and perhaps
come to a different understanding of identity. Bisexual people can form deep
relationships with more than one gender, which may draw out different aspects of their
identity. Non-monogamous people might see themselves reflected differently in the eyes
of those they are closely involved with. SM enables the exploration of different kinds of
dominant and submissive states of mind.”

At the Bi Visibility Day event, @BiCommunityNews editor @JenYockney spoke briefly about @google lifting their ban on the word bisexual in autocomplete and instant search.
It has been suggested at @bi_media that the ban was only lifted in the US, but she said that it was difficult to know if that was actually true. What if it just doesn’t display any suggestions cos it’s not learned to yet?
So here’s the important part: she asked everyone to google phrases starting with word bisexual so that google learns what phrases people might want to see in autocomplete/instantsearch.
Obvs, Bi Community News is in the UK, but perhaps it’s important to do in all countries?
I’ve done it (in google.co.uk), will continue to do it and you should too! Pass the message on! Signal-boost!
I can’t remember all the phrases Jen suggested, but here a list of suggestions which probably includes some of them:
- bisexual community
- bisexual [town/city/country]
- bisexual health
- bisexual mental health
- bisexual activism
- bisexual group
- bisexual support
- bisexual information
- bisexual [gender]
- bisexual discrimination
Please do add some to the list if you think of any.

Bought these at pride. Obviously the intention is sapphic, but I think they’re also really cool as a feminist statement.
