  • The Silent Majority - Bisexual Invisibility | Interview with Rebecca Minor | Ep 21
    Want access to every video early, ad-free content, and support the show? Join our Patreon Community ➡️ https://www.patreon.com/ClosetedHistoryIn our season 3 opening episode, I interview Rebecca Minor, a licensed therapist, educator, and advocate passionate about creating affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals. Rebecca is one of the founders of Bi(in)visibility, a platform that centers the experiences of bisexual individuals—an often overlooked group within the LGBTQ+ community, despite making up the majority. In fact, studies show that bisexual adults represent 57.3% of LGBTQ+ adults in the U.S., yet their voices are frequently erased or misunderstood. Through Bi(in)visibility, Rebecca is working to change that.📕 Table of Contents 📕00:00 Introduction00:01 Rebecca's journey to Bi Invisibility and challenges within the bisexual community00:04 Misconceptions and fluidity in bisexual attraction00:08 Compulsory heterosexuality and identity language00:12 Personal experiences, inclusivity, and community challenges00:19 Community evolution and exploring queer identity in relationships00:25 Gender identity, resources for bi men, and community feedback00:29 Therapists’ role, advice, and affirming queer identity00:36 Importance of learning LGBTQ+ history00:37 Promoting the bi invisibility community and closingConnect With Our Guest 🌈Rebecca Minor, LICSW, is a queer clinician, consultant, and educator specializing in the intersection of trauma, gender, and sexuality. As a Gender Specialist, Rebecca partners with trans and gender nonconforming youth through their journey of becoming and serves as a guide to their parents in affirming it. Rebecca is the founder of Prism Therapy Collective, where their approach is always trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. In addition to her clinical work, Rebecca leads a community called bi+ (in)visibility for bi+ people navigating their queer identity in the context of a straight-presenting relationship. She is also part-time faculty at Boston University School of Social Work and has provided cultural responsiveness training and consultation to organizations, schools, and businesses for the past decade. Rebecca is the author of the forthcoming book Raising Trans Youth; What To Expect When You Weren’t Expecting This (Row House, 2025).Social:Instagram: @gender.specialist (https://www.instagram.com/gender.specialist) & @bi_invisibility (https://www.instagram.com/bi_invisibility/)Patreon: bi+ (in)visibility Membership (https://www.patreon.com/bi_invisibility)Facebook: Rebecca Minor LICSW (https://www.facebook.com/RebeccaMinorLICSW)LinkedIn: Rebecca Minor, LICSW (https://www.linkedin.com/in/genderspecialist/)Wanna work with us?
