Big Bi+ Questions

In this episode of Big Bi+ Questions, we dive into the lived experiences of bisexual sero-discordant (sero-different) relationships — where one partner is HIV+ and the other is HIV-. Our guests, Seth and Cass, join Jase and Tamzyn to share their stories of love, disclosure, stigma, and resilience.

We explore what it means to navigate HIV together, the importance of visibility and accurate information, and how stigma can be challenged through openness and connection. Along the way, we talk labels, community, and the changing future of HIV treatment and understanding.

Whether you’re bi+, curious, or just want to understand sero-discordant relationships better, this episode is filled with honesty, compassion, and hope.

Have you ever wondered if you’re “bi enough”? Bi imposter syndrome — also called queer imposter syndrome — is that feeling of doubt or fraudulence that can creep in when stereotypes, biphobia and heteronormativity weigh heavily on our sense of self.

In this episode of Big Bi+ Questions, we’re joined by Ashley, a registered counsellor specialising in LGBTQIA+ wellbeing, who brings both personal insight and professional experience to the discussion. Together we explore why imposter syndrome shows up in bi+ lives, how it can undermine our relationships and mental health, and the small but powerful steps we can take to challenge it. Ashley shares practical tools for spotting the signs, building community, and replacing doubt with pride and belonging. Repeat along with us: “I am enough. I am valid. I belong.”

In acknowledgement and celebration of Wear It Purple Day, our guest on this episode is Isabelle, a young bi+ person who is a member of the Wear It Purple Youth Action Council. Together we had a chat about the origins and impact of Wear It Purple Day, why visibility and support for young multi-gender attracted people matter, and how allies can continue showing up every day, not just once a year.

On this episode of Big Bi+ Questions we got to know our co-host Raena a little better, including finally putting her through our bi+ stereotype research survey, which she’s been waiting for weeks to get involved in. We then dove into our big question: ‘why is it important to fly your bi+ colours?’, including chatting about the history and meaning of the bisexual and pansexual flags, how it feels to see someone proudly flagging their multi-gender attraction, and how symbols can signal safety and community.

Why do so many animals get caught up in the human debate about bisexuality? This week on Big Bi+ Questions, Tamzyn, Little Jase, and Raena are joined by our resident scientist Dr Cat to explore bisexual erasure in the animal kingdom. From bonobos to penguins, lions to Lisa Mitchell’s Animals, we ask: do animals even care about labels, or is that just a human thing? We dive into same-sex behaviour in nature, what it teaches us about diversity, and why anthropomorphising can be both fascinating and misleading. Plus, plenty of laughs, curious tangents, and a few feathery facts along the way.

In this episode of Big Bi+ Questions, we were joined by Andrew “Doogie” MacDougall, host of the Pride & Puck podcast and an advocate for LGBTQIA+ inclusion. Doogie shared his journey with settling into his multi-gender attracted identity and we unpacked what bi+ visibility looks like across different environments, how it’s shifted with age or political climate, and what subtle forms of visibility can mean.
