From The Advocate magazine in partnership with Glad, I'm Jeffrey Masters, and this is LGBTQ and A.

There's a quote in Jen Winston's new book that I love. I'm going to read it. It says,

bisexuality isn't just an identity. It's a lens through which to reimagine the world.

You know, we live in a world of binaries. Man and woman, good and bad, black and white. And yet,

as we're beginning to learn as a society, none of these binaries actually exist. As just one example,

if you're listening to this podcast, you probably know by now that there is more to gender than just two.

And that is also the case with sexuality. You see, for all the progress we've made around being queer in the last five, ten, fifty years, the bi community has not enjoyed that same level of visibility, that same level of progress.

There is still a massive amount of misunderstanding when it comes to the bi-experience, and that

is the case despite bisexuals being the largest percentage of the LGBTQ community.

So today we're tackling all of this with Jen Winston.

Their new book is called Greedy, Notes from a bisexual who wants too much, and it's out now.

Oh, I have to say, I like that you start the book with a content warning for literally everything.

Yeah, I actually, like, vacillated back and forth whether I was going to do that.

I found that what it did was it helped me not use trauma as a plot point.

I realized when I put it in there, because it, like, spoils the fact that there's going to be, like, something bad in the chapter. So, like, in the chapters about sexual assault, like, when I set

out to write those chapters, like, I was thinking of it from a plot perspective, like, oh,

and then there's going to be a sexual assault. That's going to be the climax of the chapter.

And I was setting it out that way. But then I put the content warning in and I was like,

oh, this is like has been spoiled. So now I have to think more critically, which actually pushes

you as an artist because you shouldn't really use trauma as a plot device. So I kind of caught my

own biases while writing it in that sense. Oh, so then you're not building suspense and the payoff is

like a sexual assault. And you're like, oh, this doesn't feel good. Yeah. And I'm really glad that it
