“It makes sense there haven’t been many shows like The Bisexual, which portray a queer woman exploring her attraction to men. We are brought up with an assumed straightness, and then we must “discover” our queerness before “coming out” to the rest of the world, so that’s the way it has often unfurled within pop culture too. But each person’s journey is more nuanced than that – especially right now, when the intricacies of identity are being recognised more than ever – so it comes as a relief to see this nuance presented on screen.
Mainly, though, it’s just valuable to see parts of yourself reflected back at you on TV. It makes you feel less like you’re carrying around this bizarre and unarticulated secret (omg, maybe queer women are allowed to fancy guys sometimes too, or idk, maybe gender has nothing to do with it), and more like you’re probably one of hundreds, thousands, millions, whatever, who feel exactly the same way.”
