Glossary

Biphobia is a source of discrimination against bisexual people, it is based on stereotypical assumptions and unfounded fear.

Bisexual: someone who is bisexual may describe themselves as emotionally, physically or sexually attracted to men and women. Bisexual may describe peoples identity, behaviours or desire.

Cisgender is the term to denote that an individuals gender matches the sex they were assigned at birth and is a complementary definition to transgender.

Cisnormativity is the assumption that cisgenderism is the norm.

Coming out describes the process of acknowledging ones sexual orientation as lesbian, gay or bisexual to oneself or other people. It is commonly assumed that this is a one-off event, but it is best conceived of as a process that involves a number of stages and may take many years. The term come out is an abbreviation for come out of the closet.
