Shiri is the author of "BI: NOTES FOR A BISEXUAL REVOLUTION", a must-read for bisexual people and anyone looking to understand contemporary bi politics.  And we are excited to welcome back Jacob Engelberg, who has studied Shiri's work in the course of his own research, as our guest-host!In this episode, we discussed how and why Shiri wrote her book, why the rigid structure of masculinity harms men and how bisexuality offers men an opportunity to reimagine masculinity, why bi visibility is the bare minimum and does not equal acceptance, the ubiquitous and often-invisible bi-phobia in our society -- and television's frequent avoidance of bi-phobia when representing bisexuality, and what kind of bi representation Shiri would like to see on TV (more "messy bisexuals" please!).Stay tuned for part 2 when we discuss the politics of Israel/Palestine (where Shiri currently lives) and how bisexuality can inform our understanding of oppression, marginalization, and erasure.

Shiri Eisner on Re-Imagining Bisexual Masculinity

[CN: Biphobia, transphobia, homophobia, rape, violence] On today's episode, I chat with bisexual activist Shiri Eisner. She is the author of the book Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution. **********Transcribed by Marvin, with a little help from me: Trav:                Welcome to the Bi Any Means podcast, a place where social justice and humanism meet. Hello and welcome to another episode of the Bi Any Means podcast, the podcast companion to BiAnyMeans.com. I’m Trav Mamone and my guest for Shiri Eisner, author of the book Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution. Shiri, thanks for joining me today. Shiri:                 Thanks for having me. Trav:                First, I want to ask you about your background. Tell us a little bit about that. Shiri:                 I have a very particular background both in terms of academics, and in terms of activism. These things came together in parallel for me. I’ve been an activist for about a decade now, which is about the amount of time that I’ve an academic like going to the university. I started doing activism in conjunction with starting to go to the university and my background in activism, the place where I started from Palestine Solidarity work, which is probably how a lot of people here get started in activism if they are left wing. I think that has a lot to do with the intersectional and radical element in my politics and my work.                         From there, from Palestine Solidarity activism I went on to doing a lot of feminist and radical, queer, transgender and eventually bisexual work. In terms of the academia, I went through a similar process where I started my first degree studying just a combination art history, film studies and gender studies for me for everyone I took that particular track. From there I had this moment both in my activist and my academic life where I realized that my sexuality was something I could do. For a lot of years I was both organizing and studying academically about a variety of subjects. Mostly feminism and radical queer politics, and I were aware of the lack discourse or action around bisexuality.                         I was talking about it with my friends about bisexual erasure and bi-phobia communities and how no one was doing anything but at no point did I think to put these things together. To put my activism, my skills as an organization to activism, and the same goes for my academic life. For years, I was studying basically feminism with some excursions into queer theory, which is very much gay and lesbian, and despite the flowery title and what happened is I reached a moment in my life where I realized that this was something I could do. I felt I found my calling. For the first in the university I was … I think I was on my fourth year of my BA, and it took me five years because I had to work while studying. For the first time I was allowed to choose my own topic for a paper and I chose bisexuality in two courses. One was a course about pornography. One was about film theory, and this happened alongside a realization that I could organize in activism around bisexuality. These things started in parallel for me. Trav:                Cool. Shiri:                 Basically, that’s the background where
