Bisexuality is a sexual orientation where someone is romantically and emotionally attracted to people of more than one gender.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Mexico<\/strong>according to the National Survey on Sexual and Gender Diversity (Endiseg) 2021, there are approximately 4.6 million LGB+ people in the United States.<\/strong>. Of this figure, more than 2.3 million people identified as bisexual (51.7%)<\/strong>. So there is such a thing as bi people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The September 23rd is International Bisexuality Day<\/strong>which was established in 1999 by the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA).<\/strong>. Some of the activists who promoted the creation<\/strong> of this date were Michael Page, Gigi Raven Wilbur and Wendy Curry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amnesty International explains that this date is relevant because it gives visibility to bi people, who are usually underrepresented in the media.<\/strong>. Or, are mistakenly believed to be 'confused'.<\/strong>They do not decide whether they are heterosexual or homosexual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a company to commemorate International Bisexuality Day<\/strong> serves to to make visible and recognize bi people who are already out of the closet within the organization<\/strong>. Likewise, it functions as a support so that those who have not yet been encouraged to express it, may eventually do so. <\/strong>when they feel the time is right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A person can perform better at work if they are not thinking about what will happen if they are judged or excluded from their group because of their sexual orientation.<\/strong>. This allows to concentrate fully on his activities <\/strong>and not in a latent insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No one is obliged to talk about their sexual orientation at work.<\/strong>. What is important is that the company provides a safe environment<\/strong>where everyone can to make a free decision on whether to open up on this subject.<\/strong> with your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prejudice 1:<\/strong> Some people believe that bisexuality 'does not exist' or that it is just a 'confusion phase'.<\/strong> This is discriminatory because invalidates a relevant aspect of the personality<\/strong>such as sexual orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prejudice 2: <\/strong>Similarly, there is the belief that bisexual people have 'heterosexual privilege'.<\/strong>for may date someone of the opposite gender<\/strong>. It is necessary to eradicate this thinking, which often also exists among gays and lesbians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond a privilege, bi people face prejudice from within and outside the LGBT+ population<\/strong>not everyone understands that being bisexual is very different from being gay or lesbian.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bias 3: Some people think that someone with this orientation will feel 50% attraction to the male gender and 50% attraction to the female gender.<\/strong> However, the bi experience varies from person to person<\/strong>; i.e, there is no one way to be bisexual<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prejudice 4: <\/strong>Sometimes, people may immediately assume that someone is gay or lesbian if he or she presents a partner of the same gender in a work context<\/strong>. However, is still bisexual<\/strong> if it calls itself this way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if a bisexual woman arrives with her girlfriend at a work event, this does not make her a lesbian.<\/strong>she still has a bi orientation. For this reason, it is always best not to assume or assume what a person's sexual orientation is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A great alternative to leave behind some prejudices about bisexuality, and in general about issues related to the LGBT+ population, is to to sensitize all the company's personnel<\/strong>. This can be done with talks or trainings on these topics.

Their sexual orientation is secondary<\/strong>is only a part of your personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With information from Amnesty International<\/a>, Homosensual<\/em><\/a>, PinkNews<\/em><\/a> e Inegi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Research and editing by Jos\u00e9 Manuel R\u00edos and Mildred P\u00e9rez de la Torre<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We explain some misconceptions about bisexuality in the workplace. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3928,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[70,71,72,73],"class_list":["post-3925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-inclusion-laboral","tag-diversidad","tag-equidad","tag-inclusion","tag-inclusion-laboral"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3925"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3977,"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3925\/revisions\/3977"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comprodiverso.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Why is there an International Bisexuality Day?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
